    MIDTERM - CONTRACEPTION

    CASE SCENARIO
    Setting: Inside a Family Planning Clinic
    Background: Accompanied by her parents, a 16-year-old girl visits.
    Conversation: Mother: Doc our daughter has engaged in premarital sex at times. We fear she
    may get pregnant at a very premature age and become uninterested in finishing her studies.
    Besides, her boyfriend is still so young and irresponsible. And we do not want our daughter to
    have a ruined future. Please give her contraceptives. This is better than abortion.

    Question: Does early age justify the use of contraceptive methods? What should a doctor,
    equipped with moral principles, do about the situation? What could be the response of the health
    care practitioner?

    1. When we say contraception is morally wrong. Where in itself does the evil of
    contraception reside?
