What is the Christian view of the worth of human persons?

Case Study: Maternal and Fetal Viability

Reflective questions

1. Should Tina’s pregnancy continue, or should Jeff consider abortion as an option, both for the sake of Tina’s health and out of concern for the viability of the fetus?
2. Does the fetus have moral status and deserve continued medical treatment, or is the viability of the fetus questionable enough to merit Jeff focusing primarily upon restoring the health of Tina?
3. What is the Christian view of the worth of human persons?
4. How might different moral status theories lead Jeff to make different decisions?
