doing a presentation on biomedical issue abortion. Can you help me with Explaining the organizations eithica and social responsibility toward the community and its stakeholders

What organization?

Who are its stakeholders?

Having taught biomedical ethics, I wonder how abortion is biomedical? It is a medical procedure,either surgical or non-surgical, with social and religious ethics involved,which is of concern to some of the community. Some of them are really involved in it.

biomedicine:
1. The branch of medical science that deals with the ability of humans to tolerate environmental stresses and variations, as in space travel.
2. The application of the principles of the natural sciences, especially biology and physiology, to clinical medicine.

I am nitpicking, of course, but big words confuse the study of ethics. Drugs and ethics are an example: we forget that alka-seltzer is a drug. In the abortion issue and ethics, we often forget that the great majority of aborted fetuses are natural miscarries in the first two months.

An NIH study*: "It is estimated that up to half of all fertilized eggs die and are lost (aborted) spontaneously, usually before the woman knows she is pregnant. Among those women who know they are pregnant, the miscarriage rate is about 15-20%." [56] Clinical abortions (those occurring after the sixth week LMP) occur in 8% of pregnancies.

We tend to forget this in the emotional discussions...

Mercy Killing.

That's what the Nazis called thier policy of exterminating the "undesirables"
(or unwanteds)
out of their society.

The idea of murdering children
because they're too young to care
for themselves is no different than murdering the ailing, elderly, or mentally handicapped - which is
what the Nazis did. Okay, so
some children were not planned,
and it hurts me to say that they weren't wanted, but we have no
right to play God and decide who
lives and who dies. Mercy-killing isn't merciful. Neither is abortion. It's murder that's been legalized.

I was one of those "unwanteds" that ended up being put up for adoption;
me and my two brothers. We were adopted by a couple that could not have children of their own. Don't believe that abortion is the only '
way. It's not.

And if I may have the audacity to say so, if the US legalizes
infantcide (which we have)
than who is to say that
further down the road the
mentally ill won't be next.
Or the elderly.
Or those with physical deformities?
Or orphans and children who've been put into foster care?
Or people who don't conform to a particular religion?

We've started with infants. We won't end there. I hate to say this, but I wholeheartedly beleive it. Some say history repeats itself. I beleive that too. We could be the next Nazi Germany. All it takes is a few more steps. Just think about that.

I'm sorry if this comes across rude or forceful or anarchy-ish. I'm passionatly pro-life.

Of course! When discussing the ethical and social responsibility of organizations in relation to the biomedical issue of abortion, it's important to consider the perspectives and actions of different stakeholders. Here's how you can explain this:

1. Define Ethical and Social Responsibility:
Start by providing a clear definition of ethical responsibility, which refers to the moral obligations and principles that guide the conduct of an organization. Social responsibility, on the other hand, refers to an organization's duty to consider the well-being of society as a whole.

2. Identify the Stakeholders:
Identify the key stakeholders involved in the issue of abortion. These may include medical professionals, patients seeking abortions, religious groups, policymakers, advocacy groups, and the wider community.

3. Organizations' Ethical Responsibilities:
Explain that organizations involved in the biomedical issue of abortion have ethical responsibilities towards their stakeholders. For example:
- Medical professionals: They have ethical obligations to provide accurate information, maintain patient confidentiality, and respect the autonomy and choices of their patients.
- Patients: Organizations should prioritize patient well-being, informed consent, and access to safe abortion services.
- Advocacy groups: These organizations may seek to protect the rights of individuals seeking abortions or work to reduce the stigma associated with the issue.

4. Organizations' Social Responsibilities:
Discuss the broader social responsibilities organizations have towards the community regarding the issue of abortion. For instance:
- Providing accurate information: Organizations should ensure that the public has access to reliable and evidence-based information regarding abortion, its risks, benefits, and legal aspects.
- Engaging in public dialogue: Organizations can contribute to the societal conversation by actively participating in discussions around abortion rights and supporting fair, informed debates free from misinformation.
- Promoting reproductive health: Organizations can play a role in promoting overall reproductive health, including access to contraception, comprehensive sex education, and healthcare facilities that offer a broad range of services.

5. Example organizations and their initiatives:
Highlight specific organizations that demonstrate ethical and social responsibility in the biomedical issue of abortion. For instance:
- Planned Parenthood: This organization offers comprehensive reproductive healthcare services, including abortions, along with accurate information and resources.
- Guttmacher Institute: Known for its research and advocacy work, this organization strives to advance reproductive health and rights globally by providing evidence-based analysis and policy recommendations.

Remember, it is crucial to emphasize a balanced and unbiased approach when discussing controversial topics like abortion, acknowledging different perspectives and the diverse ethical considerations surrounding this issue.
