am a high school student of 15 years, and with regard to the issue of abortion, I wonder, "What right does a woman refuse life another creature?
Federica Cara Federica,
I draw inspiration from your letter, to make any lasting BIOETHICS, starting with the abortion. To "level playing field" signals a web page "on abortion," from which I took pictures (http://www.sandrodiremigio.com/blog/aborto_embrione_ivg_omicidio.htm), and an article of giornale.it (http : / / www.ilgiornale.it/interni/aborto_difendo_ragioni_cuore/21-02-2010/articolo-id=423763-page=0-comments=1).
, especially an article in the Corriere della Sera ON LINE, 20 February 2010, including withholding significant passages (http://archiviostorico.corriere.it/2010/febbraio/20/duri_anti_aborto_contro_Fisichella_co_8_100220024.shtml):
"CITY VATICAN - Five members (out of 158) of the Pontifical Academy for Life, call the Pope the head of the President, the 'Archbishop Rino Fisichella, described as "a clergyman who does not understand what does the absolute respect for innocent human life." An attack by against "pro life" more radical - available on the Internet with a gesture considered 'serious' and' incorrect 'by the Holy See - which was a terrible story of' last year: a bimba brasiliana stuprata dal patrigno rimase incinta di due gemelli; era stata violentata e picchiata più volte, aveva nove anni e pesava trenta chili: per salvarla, i medici la fecero abortire. Fu a quel punto che l'allora arcivescovo José Cardoso Sobrinho pensò di annunciare pubblicamente la «scomunica» contro «tutte le persone coinvolte nell' aborto». L' uscita creò sconcerto, anzitutto fra i cattolici, finché Fisichella, il 15 marzo, pubblicò un articolo («Dalla parte della bambina brasiliana») sull' Osservatore Romano: «L' aborto provocato è sempre stato condannato dalla legge morale», scriveva, ma la bimba «doveva essere in primo luogo difesa, abbracciata, accarezzata gently to make them feel that we were all with her, all without any distinction. Before thinking of excommunication was an urgent need to protect innocent life and bring her to a level of humanity of which we men of the Church should be expert preachers and teachers. This has not been and, unfortunately, is affected the credibility of our teaching that is insensitive to the eyes of many, incomprehensible, and without mercy. " At the age of 75 years, the 'Brazilian archbishop was immediately put on board. The Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, against the "manipulation and exploitation 'of' Fisichella's article made clear that there is' brought the doctrine of the Church, while taking into account the dramatic situation of the child. " But the polemics of the "hard" not been silenced. The thing had no consequences. Nell 'last meeting, a week ago, no one has ever raised the issue of resignation. Furthermore, in addition to the Presidency and the Governing Council, the 'Academy for Life is made up of 158 members between common and related fees: and the "branch" is signed by three ordinary members (out of 56) and two equivalent (out of 87 ). The most famous is Michel Schooyans, Ratzinger wrote that the 'introduction to a book in' 97. But the Vatican c 'is great irritation. The "letter" of the five who ask 'responsible' (that Benedict XVI and Cardinal Bertone from which they were appointed) to dismiss Fisichella was circulated on the Internet. "
Having said this, we come to your specific question: " What right has a woman to deny life to another creature?
A further question that we associate no secondary "What right do others have to force a woman to continue an unwanted pregnancy?"
Let's see, first, what is right. From Wikipedia we read that the meaning more common in reference to our problem is: "The set and the complex (usually systematic) of the rules that govern the lives of community members reference. So, without a community of reference, the right loses meaning.
One of conceptions is called dating. theory of natural law or natural law. This theory postulates the existence of a set of immutable and eternal principles, inscribed in human nature, which gives the name of natural law. The law (the law actually in force) is merely the translation of those principles into rules. The method adopted by the legislature is therefore a deductive method: from universal principles are derived (by inference) the particular rules. The problem is that there is not always complete agreement on what are the universal principles ISPIRATORI DELLE NORME GIURIDICHE. Le Chiese, principali assertrici del diritto naturale, tendono ad identificarlo con i princìpi dettati dai loro testi sacri (la Bibbia, il Corano, etc.); gli studiosi laici con princìpi diversi (di giustizia, equità, il popolo, lo stato, o LA DICHIARAZIONE UNIVERSALE DEI DIRITTI UMANI DELLE NAZIONI UNITE.). Non essendoci accordo sui princìpi-base (a meno che essi non siano imposti da un potere autoritario), viene a cadere il fondamento stesso della teoria del diritto naturale. Ricordiamo, inoltre, che da pochi anni esistono delle TEORIE di etica evoluzionista (vedi il mio post sul BENE e sul MALE) che cercano di individuare dei VALORI ETICI ACQUISITI DALL'UOMO, tramite l'evoluzione, regardless of religions (probably so, it explains why nearly all modern civilized countries, as we shall see, allow abortion on request of the mother at an unconscious level, if not influenced by religion, we give more value to the physical well-being of mother than to the unborn child).
But, for example, in the case of Canon Law Catholic, while the Abortion entails automatic excommunication, no ifs and buts in the case of 9 year old Brazilian girl raped by her father, the doctrine that theoretically should be DIVINE INSPIRATION, so PERFECT, creates major problems of interpretation even within the Catholic community and its most alti livelli.
Decisamente indicativa è la mappa delle legislazioni sull’aborto, che troviamo nel sito web (http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legislazioni_sull%27aborto), in cui si evince che la quasi totalità dei paesi civili dell’emisfero NORD della terra e in SUD AFRICA (colorata in azzuro), l’ABORTO E’ LEGALE SU RICHIESTA DELLA MADRE; in INDIA, legale per stupro, protezione della vita della madre, salute fisica, salute mentale, fattori socioeconomici, e/o anomalie del feto; in MESSICO ed AUSTRALIA, legale per stupro, protezione della vita della madre, salute fisica, salute mentale, e/o anomalie del feto; in BRASILE Illegale con l'eccezione di stupro, protezione della vita mother's physical health, and / or mental health, the rest of Africa and the rest of South America, with the exception of Illegal physical health, protection of the life of the mother and / or mental health in Chile and in a few others were minor, illegal without exception.
In conclusion, the answer to your question depends on the will of individual women (from their culture, vision, life, religion, morals, etc..), While the parallel answer to the question ("What right do others have to force a woman to continue an unwanted pregnancy? ") depends only on the existing legislation in their respective States, which can be circumvented, however, going abroad to have abortions, e poi ritornare nello stato di partenza. Personalmente, come donna, difficilmente deciderei di abortire, ma non mi sento di giudicare i singoli casi delle altre donne.
Una cosa, però, ritengo essenziale; ed è che le donne devono essere pienamente informate su tutte le possibili conseguenze civili e psicofisiche che un aborto o un mancato aborto comporta, in modo da decidere liberamente.
Un caro saluto
Alessandra
