Problem:
Short answer: Consider the Adriana Smith Case. She was a 30-year-old nurse, who was 9 weeks pregnant when she was declared legally brain dead as a result of brain clots. She was kept alive until the fetus reached viability (~36 weeks). Was this morally right? Take the stance of either an act or rule utilitarian and explain whether keeping her body alive was morally right or wrong. Consider the rights of Ms. Smith, the fetus (and when/if it has rights), the wishes of her family, the broader implications for society, and when life begins and ends. This response does not represent your personal opinion. Answer in the following format: "An {act/rule} utilitarian would argue that this act was morally {right/wrong}." Explain in 3 additional complete sentences. Need Assignment Help?
