Question

Choose from one of the following situations and argumentative essay explaining what the proper moral choice should be. One portion of the paper must provide a Biblical discussion with some reference to the decalogue and perfect/imperfect duties, while another must be non-Biblical, using words that would be convincing to a non-Christian. Also, compare or contrast your view with how utilitarian reasoning might address the situation. A woman has learned she is pregnant with a child suspected of having Down syndrome and is considering an abortion.
