Title of the book: INVITATION TO Christian Ethics

Moral Reasoning and Contemporary Issues

KEN MAGNUSON

Now that you have read your assigned reading on beginning of life issues such as abortion and reproductive technologies, and have gained a better understanding of how various ethical systems might approach these issues, write a thread that explains how one of the Christian ethical systems might process the issue and how a non-Christian ethical system might process the issue. You may pick any of the specific issues discussed in your assigned textbook readings. But make sure to argue according to ethical systems rather than your own abstract feelings. You must include the following elements:

Discussion post one thread of 550–650 (not including footnotes) words. 

A brief paragraph of your chosen ethical system (you may pick a different one than you argued for in Week 1 if you request permission).Virtue Ethics, Deontology, Christian Ethics, Consequentialism, utilitarianism.

A brief paragraph explaining the chosen topic and why it's controversial.

A thorough paragraph explaining how your ethical system would discern the right decision/action pertaining to the issue.

A thorough paragraph relaying how a competing ethical system (If you hold to a Christian ethical system, then this would be a non-Christian ethical system, and vice versa) would attempt to answer the ethical dilemma, but that ends with an explanation of why it is an inadequate/wrong approach compared to your chosen system's approach.

You are expected to support your position with rational arguments, fitting examples, and expert sources. At least one citation must come from one of your textbooks. Any quotes or information used from sources other than yourself must be cited using footnotes in current Turabian format. Although quotations count towards your word count requirements, you will receive a lower grade if your word count is mostly filled with quotations.
