Read very carefully the following paragraph. What will you do if you were Lindsay?

On a half sheet yellow paper, write a ten-sentence paragraph to summarize your

answer.
Lindsay is a deeply religious person; hence, she considers killing humans absolutely
wrong. Unfortunately, it is found out that Lindsay is having an ectopic pregnancy. As is
well known, an ectopic pregnancy is a type of pregnancy that occurs outside the uterus,
most commonly in the fallopian tubes. In other words, in ectopic pregnancy, the fetus
does not develop in the uterus. Now, if this happens, the development of the fetus will
definitely endanger the mother. Thus, if Lindsay continues with her pregnancy, then
there is a big possibility that she will die. According to experts, the best way to save
Lindsay’s life is to abort the fetus, which necessarily implies killing the fetus. If we do not
abort the fetus, then Lindsay, as well as the fetus, will die.

Lindsay faces two choices, either resorting to abortion, which will save her life,
but jeopardize her moral integrity at the same time, or not resorting to abortion, but
endangering both her life and the fetus. We can say that Lindsay faced with a huge
moral dilemma. She is obliged to make decision about which action is best. It is hard to
decide if who you will save. If I were Lindsay, I will choose the best action that is to
abort the fetus. Abortion may be illegal but in this case it is the best option to choose
rather than losing the fetus and myself. Not being selfish, but it will be more difficult if I
will take the risk of giving birth. Since the experts say that it is better to abort the fetus. I
know that I will commit something wrong in terms of aborting the fetus. In other words,
by choosing to abort the fetus or the possible moral requirements, I also fail on the other
which is not giving birth.
