New cards

Inviolability of Life

All humans from the moment of conception (fertilization) and through all subsequent stages is sacred

2
New cards

Inviolability of Life

all have the duty to affirm, respect, love and defend it. Violation of this principle occurs like in: abortion, in vitro fertilization and stem cell research.

3
New cards

Stewardship

Man must take care, cultivate, creatures within the creature's innate nature and teleology and within man's knowledge and understanding.

4
New cards

Stewardship

Violations arises in: surgical sterility, substitution of reproduction, use of hormones, intra-uterine devices (IUD) donation of sperm or egg genetic manipulation.

5
New cards

Respect for Person.

Not to be denatured/destroyed. Issues/ and violation arises in: artificial methods of reproduction (like: IVF and AID or AIH), cloning.

6
New cards

Respect for Person.

to be an end and not a means to an end. This happens in contraception, commodification of sperm/egg, uterus dysfunction, and embryonic manipulation.

7
New cards

IVF-ET

the gametes are separately harvested, in number of eggs are fertilized in 'Petri Dish' some zygotes are implanted into the mother, and unwanted embryo may be removed.

8
New cards

Contraception

It is any action which in anticipation of the conjugal act, or in its accomplishment or in the development of its natural consequences whether as an end or means, prevents the creation of new life (anti-life). contraceptives treat fertility as a negative value that should be suppressed.

9
New cards

Abortion

It is the process of deliberately terminating pregnancy with the resulting death of an entity or it is a process of deliberately terminating pregnancy at any stage of its development

10
New cards

Direct abortion or induced

it a kind of abortion with the intentional of immediate purpose of ending or destroying the fetus at any stage of after its conception.

11
New cards

Indirect abortion

is a process of terminating pregnancy directly in which the moral object of the action is the therapy of the mother and the death of the fetus is a side effect that is inevitably unavoidable effect. Ex., removal of pathological tube containing a fertilized ovum in an ectopic pregnancy, removal of the cancerus gravid uterus.

12
New cards

Indirect abortion

This act is justified by the principle of double effect. Obviously direct abortion violates the principles of natural reproduction.

13
New cards

injection with concentration saline

(it is an injection of a concentrated saline solution into the theirmothers womb. It burns their skin off them while were still alive the babies breathe it in and swallow it, frying their insides. Some of babies were born alive despite this torture and are then 'disposed of'

14
New cards

dilation and Evacuation Dilation

this is characterized by using a suction tube to remove the fetus and placenta)

15
New cards

Hysterotomy

abortion by caesarian surgery

16
New cards

Vacuum aspiration

is a method by suctioning of the lining of the uterus through the use of a thin and flexible tube inserted through the opening of the cervix

17
New cards

Inviolability of Life view

(some unwanted zygote are allowed to die)

18
New cards

Stewardship

the procedure is artificial and it substitutes the conjugal act)

19
New cards

Non maleficence

the baby may develop the 'genealogical bewilderment syndrome', also, if sperm is from a donor, the unknown biological lineage may lead to incest or inherited diseases. Mothers are psychologically harm by series of unsuccessful attempt)

20
New cards

Justice

(if private funds are used the prohibitive cost limits availability to the rich. If public funds are used, more essential needs are abandoned)

21
New cards

Respect for Person

(the human body, the uterus, sperm egg becomes commodities trafficked, transferred or sold; the baby is not a gift but a product of other's will to be disposed of as desired (the unused embryo; 'take home' baby in term of wasted babies are often not shared with parents)

22
New cards

inviolability of life

(drugs and devices that inhibit fertilized ovum transport to and implantation in the uterus or its development are abortificient. They kill the fetus.

23
New cards

Stewardship

(it promotes hedonistic mentality with refusal to accept the reproductive responsibility of sexual or to recognize a new human being. (perhaps as god is the final Creator)

24
New cards

Nonmaleficence

(castration removes a healthy organ, tubal occlusion or ligation and vasectomy prevents a healthy function. IUD promotes infection as well. Contraception as well promotes a premarital sex, extramarital sex, or homosexuality.

25
New cards

Respect for person

(to have one spouse use the other spouse as a means for one's satisfaction or pleasure is a sign of disrespect)
