Resolve the dilemma using Scott Rae’s model for moral decision.

State the
facts as well as principles set forth (in order) . Choose one from the three
cases given.
a. Baby Theresa
b. Jodie and Mary
c. Tracy Latimer

1. Gather the facts

Theresa Ann Campo Pearson, also known as Baby Theresa, was
born with anencephaly, a rare genetic condition that occurs when a
newborn is born missing a significant portion of the brain. Anencephalic
babies have only an adequate brain stem to control reactive respiration as
well as a heartbeat when they are born. It will have an impact on the life of
the child due to the fact she will die in 9 days, and her parents, Laura
Campo and Justin Pearson, have asked for her organs to be donated
before she dies. However, it was not assured because Florida law restricts
it.

2. Determine the social issues

The ethical question is whether to save Baby Theresa's life or
donate her organs to other children in need of transplants. Both parents
considered that the donation would benefit others, yet the option was
declined due to a lawsuit. Baby Theresa is a biological human with full
morality and privileges, and making the choice to donate her organ while
still vital is regarded as murder, comparable to abortion.

3. Determine what virtues / principles have a bearing on the case

Regarding the constitution, two courts denied the couple's petition to
have Baby Theresa Ann proclaimed deceased. Then, in terms of human
rights, the act of killing the child, because it violates the child's rights, could
be considered murder because murder is a juridical term that states the
unlawful killing of a living person. Parents should be considered in the
lawsuit because losing a child is tough. Considering their request for
donation is entirely up to them, it is an ideal way for them to support those
in need of organs. The sacred principle points out that humans have been
created in God's image, and reproduction is a sacred act that should be
 appreciated and cherished. A child with a condition that is genetic in nature
should be loved, valued, and fostered as God did.

4. List the alternatives

First and foremost, despite the fact that baby Theresa has a limited
life, she ought to receive an affectionate parent who will safeguard her and
cater to her needs. Being born with a genetic disorder is both a challenge
and a blessing from God. Taking care of her is an unforgettable journey
and a story that will inspire others to look upon her as a valuable gift. Then,
if a child requires a transplant or there are no other options, the parents
can choose to remove Baby Theresa's organ. As long as a court trial and
clinical trials are conducted, this could be an unexpected transplant. A
meeting with doctors and parents, as well as a lawsuit, is needed in order
to clarify the cause of action and approve the parents' decision, as they
have no other option but to allow the child to live longer.

5. Compare the alternatives with the virtues / principles

Although anencephaly-born babies may be eligible for transplants,
this is an injustice that contradicts biblical principles. Lawyers must
understand the parents' point of view as well as the need for organ
transplants. For a better understanding of the situation, a meeting with
doctors, parents, and the lawsuit is required. Giving up Baby Theresa's life
is a waste, and it is the same as throwing away God's gift. Parents should
be allowed to make their own decisions because they do not have the
option of prolonging their child's life. By donating organs, one acts as
Christ, giving humanity life.

6. Consider the consequences

The court trial secures Baby Theresa's rights as a human being to
remain alive for as long as she has left and ensures that her organs can be
obtained for an organ transplant if she dies. Yet due to the fact that Baby
Theresa cannot speak, the outcome of a donation without patient consent
is challenging for her. Financial considerations are the least important, as
they would be a breach of justice and violate the Constitution, the rights of
humanity, and biblical principles. Unexpected transplants are capable of
saving the lives of other children as a humanitarian act, and it is critical for
 us to value our lives so as not to waste them. Unexpected transplants
additionally have the potential to save the lives of other children in need.

7. Make a decision
Anencephaly in babies is now illegal because it is useful for
organ transplants. After several court trials, the choice of whether or
not to let the child die was rejected because no human being should
harm a gifted child. Our lives are a gift from God, and we are unable
to avoid death. If the parents of Baby Theresa were to consider their
child's feelings, they would give their all until their last breath.
Honoring the child's life is still possible because they are unable to
understand their child's agreement. Anencephaly is one of the most
fatal congenital defects, and medical researchers believe it has a
relatively brief life span. The best decision is to let the child live as
long as possible as a sign of respect.
