2. Ethical Issues of Reproductive Care– Reproductive care produces a number of ethical controversies and sometimes hard ethical choices. Some topics, such as abortion, are particularly controversial. Though most of us have settled views on abortion, it’s good to think about the underlying reasons for your position and to also reflect on arguments for the opposing view. Other ethical quandaries in reproductive care are not explored as often. Of the topics discussed in Chapters 4 and 5 in your Intervention and Reflection text, which do you find the most compelling? Perhaps it’s one that hasn’t received a lot of attention in media and everyday conversations. Ensure discussion post is in APA form.
