AB - When a new age comes, new social needs occur and new ethical principles are needed and formed. Abortion is one example of this. Views on abortion have changed through human history. Simply asking whether abortion is a sin or ethical act is an improper, thus the wrong, question. Abortion is a very complicated issue. The act of abortion needs to be judged according to the circumstances. Some people say that it is the sin of manslaughter. On the other hand, some say that it is just getting rid of a collection of cells. Others take the middle view by saying that it is a sin but ok if done within a certain period of time because the fetus is not considered to be a human person yet within that time period. Still other people say that abortion must be prohibited in all circumstances, as opposed to those who say that there are unavoidable exceptional cases. Some people say that a pregnant woman’s human rights are more important than that of the fetus, therefore the decision must be given solely to the pregnant woman. Yet some say that the right of the fetus is more important than the pregnant woman’s. Korea has a law prohibiting abortion except in a few unavoidable extreme situations. However, people do not keep the law. They just go ahead and abort the fetus regardless of the circumstances. Many medical doctors perform abortions without considering the ethics of their actions and many of them even see abortion as a chance to make a fortune. Also there are people who argue that socio-economic considerations must be added to the list of unavoidable reasons for abortion. Meanwhile other people say that abortion allowed due to diseases must now be removed from the list because the development of medical and genetic science can cure those diseases. Indeed, abortion is a very complicated issue. This article will deal with these issues and offer a few guidelines. .
