Case Analysis # 1
Sarah is a 16 years old patient, unmarried and 10 weeks pregnant. She is a
very quiet girl in high school. She told you that she was an abandoned child
and she was raised by her grandmother who doesn’t care for her. . She is
now a working student who works 30 hours per week at a famous fast food
chain, while also earning a 1.5 GPA in school, ranking in the top 10% of her
class. She has a scholarship until college from a local organization and plans
to enrol nursing at a prestigious university.
Sarah has absolutely no family support, and the former boyfriend who is the
father of her unborn child/fetus simply disappeared upon learning of the
pregnancy. Your patient is scared, uninsured, and says she doesn’t want to
be pregnant or a mom (“Perhaps someday, but not now!”). She rejects the
adoption option, based on her own experience growing up, and requests
abortion only, at this hospital where she has always received medical care.
”Questions for discussion:
Your faith-based health care system rejects elective abortion option.
What ought to be done for Sarah? And by whom?

 Teenage pregnancy is still rises in our country and Abortion is not always
the answer for the challenges to those teens who get pregnant
early,These young girls are almost completely unprepared for motherhood
and often have no place to turn except to give up the baby they just
nurtured for nine months. In case of sarah, I believed that she needs love
and knowledge and support for her baby. The generation growing up right
now needs unconditional love from family, but more importantly they need
to be introduced to the author of unconditional love, our Lord Jesus
Christ. Sarah needs Health professional to help her for her baby, and also
sarah needs guidance and counselling to help her to decide a better plan
and also in the Philippines, there are agencies Department of Social
Welfare and Development (DSWD) and the Commission on Population
and Development (PopCom) collaborate for a program that will address
 their needs the Social Protection Program for Teenaged Mothers and their
Children.

2. The Moral Issues of Artificial Insemination Essay (maximum of 250 words

only)
 Artificial insemination is a fertility treatment method used to deliver
sperm directly to the cervix or uterus in the hopes of getting pregnant.
Sometimes, these sperm are washed or “prepared” to increase the
likelihood a woman will get pregnant. When you and your partner talk to a
doctor about getting help for infertility, they may suggest a technique called
"artificial insemination." It's a simple procedure with few side effects, and it
can help some couples who haven't been able to get pregnant. In artificial
insemination, a doctor inserts sperm directly into a woman's cervix, fallopian
tubes, or uterus. The most common method is called "intrauterine
insemination (IUI)," when a doctor places the sperm in the uterus.

 In these cases there is, apparently, only the intent to help a couple,
despite their physical incapacity (either by reason of the husband's low
sperm production or the wife's blocked Fallopian tubes) to have a child
with whom they ardently desire to share life and to whom they are willing
to give a home. Do not such couples have a "right" to have a child of their
own? Why, many people reasonably ask, is it morally bad indeed a sin, an
offense against God Himself- to make use of artificial insemination by the
husband and homologous in vitro fertilization in such cases? Is not the
Church's position here too rigid, too insensitive to the agonizing plight of
involuntarily childless couples who are seeking, by making good use of
modern technologies, to realize one of the goods of marriage? Do not
married couples in this situation have a right to make use of these
methods so that they can have a child of their own? It is definitely true that
married men and women have rights (and responsibilities) that non-
married men and women do not have. hey have the right, first of all, to
engage in the marital act, that is not simple a genital act between two
persons who happen to be married but is an act of interpersonal
communion in which they give themselves to one another as husband and
wife. In direct contrast to genital sex between an unmarried man and
woman which merely joins two individuals who are in principle replaceable,
substitutable, disposable, the marital act unites two persons who have
made one another absolutely irreplaceable and nons ubstitutable by
giving themselves to one another in marriage.
