This document discusses the ethics of abortion from both secular and religious perspectives. It provides background on key abortion court cases and statistics about abortion rates and demographics. The core issue discussed is whether the fetus is a person. Views presented include that human life begins at conception, as the fetus possesses inherent capacities from that point. The document concludes that based on medical and philosophical evidence, the fetus is a person and killing it would be manslaughter. The Bible and historical Christian position treat the unborn as persons with the right to life.
The UNICEF estimates that an average of 353,000 babies are born each day around the world, with a global crude birth rate of 18.9 births per 1,000 population or 255 births per minute. During pregnancy, mothers and children swap cells via the placenta that sometimes persist in the mother's body for years. Childbirth involves three stages of labor culminating with the birth of one or more infants, and is rated as more painful than 20 bones fracturing simultaneously. Despite advancements, complications during pregnancy and childbirth still cause over 500,000 maternal deaths annually worldwide.
The document discusses the history of abortion in the United States from ancient times to present day. It provides statistics on the number of abortions performed in the US since Roe v. Wade and discusses viewpoints on abortion from the Founding Fathers. While some like Benjamin Franklin and Alexander Hamilton supported abortion, most others like George Washington opposed it, believing life begins at conception. Today abortion remains a divisive issue, with roughly equal percentages of Americans identifying as pro-choice or pro-life.
The document discusses abortion from an Islamic perspective. It begins with a brief overview of the history of abortion and the pro-life and pro-choice debates. It then outlines the views of abortion in Islam, noting that the Quran condemns killing but does not explicitly mention abortion. Muslim scholars differ on when ensoulment occurs and whether abortion is permitted before or after that point. Generally, abortion is prohibited after ensoulment except to save the mother's life, and opinions vary on its permissibility before ensoulment. The document concludes with references.
The document is a presentation on abortion from an Islamic perspective. It defines abortion, lists reasons for abortion, and discusses the health effects. It cites Quranic verses and hadith that discuss abortion and killing children. Abortion is generally forbidden after 120 days of pregnancy when the soul enters the fetus, but permitted earlier. Traditionally, abortion was only allowed to save the mother's life, but some now allow it for fetal disorders or hardships. Views vary among Muslims on abortion.
The document discusses cloning and provides information on the different types of cloning such as DNA cloning, reproductive cloning, and therapeutic cloning. It notes DNA cloning produces multiple copies of a gene, reproductive cloning clones a whole creature, and therapeutic cloning produces embryos for research usually to create stem cells. The document also outlines some potential uses of cloning including for medical purposes, cloning animal models of disease, cloning stem cells for research, drug production, reviving endangered or extinct species, reproducing deceased pets, and potentially cloning humans. It mentions there are differing views from science and religions on cloning with some supporting cloning for conservation but opposing human cloning.
This document provides an overview of the Islamic perspective on abortion. It discusses how abortion is forbidden in Islam based on verses in the Quran that prohibit killing children. Abortions are only permitted before 120 days (4 months) of pregnancy, as this is when Islamic sources say the soul enters the fetus. After 4 months, abortion would be equivalent to murder. The document outlines the types of abortion and possible side effects. It reviews literature on abortion rates and reasons for termination. In conclusion, Islam only allows abortion early in pregnancy to save the mother's life.

Islamic medical ethics is based on the Quran and teachings of the Prophet Muhammad. It provides guidance on issues related to health, medical treatment, life, death and the afterlife. Permissible treatments include contraception and organ donation while forbidden acts include suicide, euthanasia, abortion after 120 days and consumption of pork or alcohol. Islamic principles emphasize necessity, harm reduction and public interest over individual interests.
The document discusses various issues related to immigration including the number of undocumented immigrants in the US, what should happen if someone crosses the border with a child, whether America should provide health insurance to undocumented immigrants, and if the US should build a border wall. It also includes questions about illegal immigrant applicants, DACA, unaccompanied children, and if Christians should report illegal immigrants.
This document discusses various topics related to abortion from multiple perspectives. It includes discussions of ectopic pregnancies and whether abortion is morally permissible in cases of rape or incest. It also discusses Ohio's heartbeat bill banning abortion after 6 weeks and debates over parental consent laws, defunding Planned Parenthood, and whether Christians can vote for pro-choice candidates. Overall, the document presents different sides of complex abortion issues without taking a definitive stance.
The document discusses 10 "truths" about population control, contraception, and the Catholic Church's teachings. It argues that overpopulation is a myth and population growth boosts economies. It asserts that contraception violates natural law and is immoral, as it can cause abortions by preventing implantation. The document also claims that the Reproductive Health Bill in the Philippines violates the constitution by not protecting the unborn. It concludes by saying the Church's teachings are based on eternal truths that liberate.
The document discusses how contraception has contributed to a "culture of death" by separating sexuality from procreation and the family. It argues this has led to a decline in morality, an increase in infidelity and non-marital sexual partners, and the commercialization of sexuality. The document warns that international organizations and governments are promoting population control policies around the world that restrict freedom and devalue motherhood and family.
The document discusses Alice Bailey's "10 Point Plan" to undermine Christianity and establish a "New World Order." It summarizes the key points as:
1) Remove God from education to free children from Christian culture.
2) Reduce parental authority over children by promoting children's rights and abolishing corporal punishment.
3) Destroy the traditional Christian family structure by promoting sexual promiscuity and liberating people from family confines.
4) Make abortion legal and easily accessible to allow freedom without unwanted pregnancies.
5) Make divorce easy and legal to free people from the concept of lifelong marriage.
The document summarizes and compares the population policies of 4 countries - China, Nigeria, Singapore, and India. China implemented the strict "One-Child" policy starting in the late 1970s to curb population growth, which was hugely successful in reducing birth rates but led to long-term social and economic challenges. Nigeria promoted family planning on a voluntary basis which had little effect on curbing population explosion. Singapore's anti-natalist policy was also initially successful in reducing birth rates but then reversed to pro-natalist policies. India encouraged smaller families but with a more lenient approach than China.
This document discusses how modern culture has led to changes in the human person, relationships, and fertility. It argues that thinkers like Freud, Marx and Nietzsche promoted a view of suspicion towards relationships and sexuality. This was further developed by Sartre and de Beauvoir who argued that love restricts freedom and that motherhood makes women less human. Statistics are presented showing increases in issues like breast cancer, testicular cancer, divorce rates, and infertility that coincide with cultural changes like oral contraceptive use and delayed childbearing. The document suggests this reflects a change in the reality and relationships of men and women due to moving away from a traditional understanding of gender and sexuality.
This document discusses abortion and euthanasia from a Christian perspective. It provides statistics on abortion in the US, summarizes the history of abortion laws and court cases, describes different abortion methods, and examines arguments for why abortion is wrong from a biblical standpoint. The document also defines euthanasia, outlines pressures for its legalization, and discusses arguments against euthanasia, noting that human life is sacred and death remains under God's sovereign control for Christians.
The document summarizes Judith Thomson's thought experiment about waking up back-to-back with an unconscious violinist who needs to be connected to your kidneys to survive. It then discusses Mary Warren's permissive view that abortion is morally permissible at any stage. Warren argues that fetuses lack characteristics like consciousness and self-awareness that make one a "person". The document also summarizes objections to Warren's position and Don Marquis' argument that abortion deprives a fetus of its future like life, making it prima facie seriously wrong.
The document discusses various factors that influence ethical decision making, including moral, natural, and civil laws as well as worldview. It examines a scenario about the last slice of pie and who should take it, exploring how different laws and worldviews would shape the decision. The document also outlines the key elements of a worldview, such as views on ultimate reality, human nature, ethics, and purpose. It analyzes how worldviews have shaped decisions on issues like abortion, vaccinations, and climate change.
The document discusses several arguments against abortion from a secular perspective, including scientific, legal, and moral arguments. Scientifically, medical textbooks and doctors state that human life begins at conception. Legally, abortion stops a beating heart and occurs after fetal brain waves, yet the fetus can become a non-person based on a mother's choice. Morally, arguments that the fetus is not a person due to lack of relationships are problematic, as personality is not what grants basic human rights.
This document discusses secular arguments against abortion from a scientific, legal, and moral perspective. It summarizes the views of medical textbooks and doctors that human life begins at conception. It then examines legal definitions of murder and arguments around the personhood of the fetus. Finally, it addresses various moral arguments commonly made in favor of abortion and provides counterarguments.
Jesus would make an ideal candidate for President according to some Twitter users because he performed great works, has already won victory, has a wise foreign policy of loving enemies, and ensured everyone had access to healthcare and food. The document then discusses definitions of life, including from dictionaries, quotes, and perspectives in the Declaration of Independence, Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Old Testament, and New Testament. It argues Jesus represents the fullest vision of life and calls Christians to lose their lives for others as he did. Living life alone is incomplete, rather it should be lived together in community including through shared worship and communion.
The document discusses the history of abortion in the United States from ancient times to present day. It provides statistics on the number of abortions performed in the US since Roe v. Wade. Views from founding fathers like Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, and George Washington are presented on abortion and contraception. The document also examines pro-choice and pro-life stances on abortion and whether the founding fathers would support abortion being legal today.
This document discusses being pro-life from a biblical perspective. It summarizes three key passages from the Gospel of Mark that portray Jesus' compassion for the vulnerable: 1) Jesus heals a man with a withered hand on the Sabbath, highlighting his concern for preserving life over legalism. 2) Jesus heals a woman with long-term bleeding, showing his power to restore life. 3) Jesus blesses children, expressing that the kingdom of God belongs to the innocent. The document urges Christians to expand their pro-life principles in line with Jesus' example of caring for the suffering.
This document provides information on induced abortion from several perspectives, including:
- Medical definitions and types of abortion procedures
- Legal perspectives from the Philippines constitution and Catholic teachings
- Potential medical risks and effects on future pregnancies
- Psychological impacts
- Biblical and Islamic views on when life begins and the sanctity of human life
- Catholic church teachings that formal cooperation in abortion is a grave offense meriting excommunication
This document discusses the Catholic view of human dignity and the sanctity of life. It begins with a passage from the Bible about choosing life by obeying God's commands and avoiding idolatry. It then provides summaries of Catholic teaching on various "pro-life" issues like abortion, euthanasia, and embryonic stem cell research. It affirms that all human life must be respected from conception to natural death. It also discusses the Church's opposition to the death penalty and its support for legitimate defense, punishment, and just war.
This document provides an overview of First Nations history and perspectives in Canada. It discusses:
- The diversity of First Nations cultures prior to European contact, with over 50 languages spoken.
- For thousands of years beforehand, Indigenous peoples lived in balance with the land and environment.
- Following contact and colonization, Europeans asserted control over land and governance, leading to cultural assimilation policies that damaged First Nations populations and communities over subsequent generations.
- Ongoing impacts include poorer health, social challenges, and higher rates of addiction, suicide, and incarceration among First Nations peoples today. Moving forward, the document calls for more inclusive and authentic teaching of Indigenous histories and experiences in education.
This document provides information about euthanasia from a religious studies perspective. It defines euthanasia and the two main types: voluntary and involuntary. It discusses Christian, Muslim, and non-religious views on euthanasia. Two case studies are presented: Dianne Pretty, who appealed courts to allow her husband to help her die, and Tony Bland, who was in a persistent vegetative state and his family petitioned to withdraw life support. Christian views are that all life comes from God and is sacred, so taking life would be wrong. However, alleviating suffering is acceptable. Muslims are totally opposed as only Allah can determine life and death. Non-religious arguments for and against are also
Human rights are inherent to all people regardless of attributes. This document discusses what human rights are according to the UN, including rights to life, food, shelter, freedom from abuse, education and more. It notes that one in three UK children experience poverty, one in four abuse, and one in seven lack proper housing, emphasizing the importance of human rights. Rights stem from values of dignity, justice, equality and are recognized by the UN through agreements like the Universal Declaration of Human Rights containing 30 rights.

Life begins at conception according to the author. However, abortion is still legal in the United States and many do not view the unborn as human. Some arguments given for abortion include population control, allowing rape victims to end pregnancies, and avoiding financial burden. However, abortion ends the life of a human being that God knows. The upcoming presidential election could impact abortion law as the next president may appoint Supreme Court justices who could impact the Roe v. Wade decision. The author urges voting to take a stand for life.
The document discusses the debate around whether abortion is morally right or wrong. It presents arguments on both sides of the issue. Pro-choice arguments include that abortion should be a mother's choice regarding her own body and health, and should be allowed in cases of rape or incest. Pro-life arguments include that abortion is murder as a fetus is a human being with a right to life, and that fetuses can feel pain during abortion. The document also discusses the ethics of abortion in regards to a fetus's right to life, views on when life begins, and the history and treatment of abortion in religion, law, and other cultures and time periods.
The document discusses abortion in South Africa and makes a pro-life argument. It summarizes that over 1.7 million babies have been aborted since abortion was legalized in 1997. It argues that life begins at conception and that abortion hurts both women physically and mentally. The document provides biblical arguments against abortion and encourages supporting crisis pregnancy centers to save lives and prevent abortions through alternatives like adoption and abstinence education. It calls Christians to speak up for the pre-born and march in protest of abortion.
Short literature on LGBTI+ Forced Migration.pdf by Dr. Anita PrasadAnitaPrasad29
This document discusses issues faced by LGBTQ+ individuals who are forced to migrate due to human rights violations and persecution in their home countries. Some key points:
- Over 89 million people worldwide have been forced to flee their homes due to violence, war, poverty, natural disasters or persecution related to gender orientation. When problems arise, people have no choice but to flee to save their lives.
- The journey of fleeing one's home country can be extremely difficult and dangerous, with migrants facing suffering without basic amenities, healthcare issues, accidents, or death. Upon arrival in new countries, refugees may still face discrimination, lack of protection, or policies that do not properly accept refugees.
- Several countries criminalize and
Professionalism & Quality: What accreditation offers engineeringStephen Frezza
Discusses professionalism as an engineer, and as an engineering educator and the role that accreditation plays in supporting professionalism.
Invited keynote talk given at ABU3QCE in AlBaha, KSA in February 2015.
Presentation for paper on the topic presented at FIE14 in October 2014. This prevention focuses on the application of knowledge-basedepistemology of engineering to the understandings of the engineering design process. This work aims to extend discussion on Philosophy of Engineering into its impact on our understanding of engineering design. The question being addressed is how a knowledge-based philosophy of engineering supports the distinctive challenges in distinguishing engineering design from scientific exploration and artistic design.
This work argues for the centrality of argument as the center of engineering design. The paper then aims at discussing implications that such an understanding of design would have on the learning of engineering design.
Using interactive models to enhance UML educationStephen Frezza
Describes a pilot project to utilize flash to create an interactive model of a UML design. This allowed students to investigate the semantic concepts involved in the design, and enhance their learning of UML notations and use.
Collection, Maintenance and Validation of Effective Evidence for Program Asse...Stephen Frezza
Describes methods and tools for maintaining educational assessment information - primarily for program outcomes assessment. This is describing outcomes assessment processes and tools for an ABET-Accredited university undergraduate programs. Discusses direct and indirect evidence use, and how to use these to efficiently validate the program.
From a talk given at the Computers & Writing Conference, June 2013.
Discusses aspects of software engineering/computer science code construction and the similarities to writing in other genres.
Epistemology and the Foundations of EngineeringStephen Frezza
From a talk given at FIE2013 (fie2013.org)
Discusses how using a knowledge-driven epistemology can be helpful in understanding the foundations of engineering as a discipline.
The document discusses the role of German soldiers in the American Civil War. It notes that over 216,000 German-born men served in the Union Army, comprising about 10% of its forces. Germans volunteered at a high rate and fought in nearly every campaign and battle. They were largely loyal to the Union and opposed slavery. At key battles like Gettysburg on July 1st, German regiments endured heavy casualties while fighting bravely against overwhelming Confederate forces. Overall, the document examines the substantial yet underappreciated contribution of German Americans to the Union war effort.
Deus machinator - The intersection of Catholic/Christian Theology and Enginee...Stephen Frezza
The document discusses the role of Catholic teaching in engineering education. It outlines that Catholic teaching provides a rich body of knowledge that can inform the roles of engineers as problem solvers, agents of technology, and agents of technological change. It presents ideas from Catholic social teaching on work, the common good, and human dignity.
