"It's wrong to kill an innocent person" yes I agree, it is wrong to kill a person to save another person,

but there are exceptions, like what even makes a person, a person? Should baby Theresa be
considered a person? Research shows that all people have minds and all minds are capable of
conscious mental activity, which baby theresa did not have any thoughts or feelings bec. she was
basically just breathing so she should not have been considered as a person by these terms. Indeed
many infants could have benefitted from her organs, leading me to believe that the parent's decision
was the correct thing to do. Also If the parents were happy with making other families happy by
giving their child organs for a good cause without technically harming or killing baby Theresa, they
ought to do so and that is ethics is all about, what you ought to si in a dilemma. Where as, on the
other hand, by not allowing the organs to be donated for transplants, not only was the judge
dissatisfying Theresa's parents wishes, she was possibly causing a larger chain reaction of
disappointment and agony to the other families who would have been grateful and appreciative of
Theresa's organs, rather than allowing them to decay, causing pain to multiple parties.
