    ETHICS

    As part of my research, I had the opportunity to interview my parents and a church leader to gain their perspectives on
    the sensitive and complex issue of abortion. This report summarizes the key points from those conversations and
    provides my own reflections on the topic.

    I first spoke with my parents, who have strong religious beliefs and traditional values. They expressed a firm stance
    against abortion, viewing it as morally wrong and a violation of the sanctity of human life. They believe that life begins at
    conception and that abortion is akin to murder. My parents emphasized the importance of personal responsibility and
    the need to accept the consequences of one's actions, including an unplanned pregnancy. They argued that adoption
    should be considered as an alternative to abortion.

    Next, I interviewed a respected leader from our local church. Similar to my parents, the church leader shared a staunchly
    anti-abortion perspective, rooted in their religious convictions. They argued that abortion goes against the teachings of
    their faith, which hold that all human life is sacred and that terminating a pregnancy is a grave sin. The church leader
    also highlighted the potential psychological and emotional trauma that women may experience after having an abortion.
    They advocated for increased support and resources for pregnant women, as well as greater emphasis on abstinence
    and responsible sexual behaviour.

    Both my parents and the church leader expressed deep concerns about the moral and ethical implications of abortion.
    They believe that it is a fundamental violation of the right to life and that it can have far-reaching consequences for
    individuals, families, and society as a whole. Their arguments were primarily grounded in religious and moral principles,
    with a strong emphasis on the sanctity of human life and the importance of personal responsibility.

    While I understand and respect their perspectives, I also recognize the complexity of the abortion issue and the need to
    consider a range of factors, including the rights and well-being of the woman, the potential impact on the child, and the
    broader social and economic implications. It is a highly sensitive and divisive topic, and I believe that reasonable people
    can disagree on the appropriate course of action.

    The interviews with my parents and the church leader provided valuable insights into the deeply held beliefs and
    convictions that shape the anti-abortion stance. Their perspectives, rooted in religious and moral principles, offer a
    counterpoint to the more liberal and progressive views that often dominate the public discourse on this issue.

    As I continue to explore and reflect on the topic of abortion, I recognize the need for open and respectful dialogue,
    where diverse viewpoints can be heard and considered. It is a complex issue that requires deeper analysis and a
    willingness to engage with different perspectives. While I may not fully agree with the positions expressed by my parents
    and the church leader, I appreciate the opportunity to better understand their reasoning and the depth of their
    convictions.
