Prenatal Testing Scenario and Reflection.

This is the assignment - answer all the questions at the beginning of the template completely.  The last section of the template asks you to write a 250 word response that includes using one of the accepted theories ONLY (Social Contract, Virtue Ethics, Care Ethics, Act Utilitarianism, Rule Utilitarianism or Kant)  to defend your position pro or con on the issue that week. In your response, please include  4 parts A-D for full credit, here is the exact last part again: 

Which ethical theory (of the 6 approved ones ONLY – Kant; Act Utilitarianism; Rule Utilitarianism; Care Ethics; Virtue Ethics; and Social Contract) would you apply to this topic to defend your stance? Explain fully. 250 words.

A. In this reflection you must first define the key terms of the debate (for example, define what Euthanasia/Abortion/Stem Cell/Public Health/PreNatal Testing/Animal Research/Health Care, etc. means and what are the different types depending on which topic you are discussing)

B. Define and explain the ethical theory you chose (show me you know exactly what the theory is and does – in your own words)

C. Present the evidence both pro and con and follow up how using your ethical theory is the best way to determine whether or not your stance is really ethical

D. Conclusion – any final thoughts and opinions would go here
