Utilitarianism, Deontology And Abortion

Abstract: A 5 page paper discussing the rights of a mentally ill and institutionalized pregnant woman extends to refusing the abortion on which her mother is insisting. Mill's theory says that all involved must have some common ground of equality, but that equality is not possible for the pregnant woman because of her mental condition. The deontological approach indicates that the woman does indeed have a right to bear her child if she chooses. No bibliography.
