ABSTRACT:
A 13 page paper based on a scenario provided by the student. The issue is abortion, specifically, the loss of the fetus as a result of surgery for uterine cancer. The paper begins with a brief description of the events. The next section discusses Catholic theology and teachings about abortion, including the principle of the 'double effect' – an indirect abortion to save the mother's life. Citations from the National Conference of Catholic Bishops, Archdiocese, the Pope, and other theological experts and scholars are included. An analysis of the interaction between the patient and Pastoral Associate is provided, citing Scripture. Finally, a conclusion discusses the strengths and weaknesses of the interaction. Bibliography lists 12 sources.
