Ans3* Voluntary termination of Pregnancy:

This is performed intentionally due to various reasons and is referred as deliberate ending of pregnancy by removal or expulsion of an embryo or foetus.

°°In my Opinion, these should be made legal with the assistance of the stringent laws, so that this can not be used.

Ans4) Ethics are important but there should be also medical considerations that of a person is suffering from untolerable pain, then he must be allowed for self induced death.

Ethical Theories can not be given all the weightage because they are not much important than a person's Life.

Ans5•) Voluntary Termination of Pregnancy must also be allowed because if foetus is not properly developed that will cause complications to that child whem he will grew up and that will spoil life of both parents and that Child. So Abortion must be legalled but only in valid cases.

Ans6) Moreover, Health care workers need to participate in all these Procedures so that any required Intervention could be given.

Ans7 ) Moral Distress could occur will Procedures like Voluntary euthanasia Because that could seem ethically wrong to Nurse or any other health care worker at the moment and that can put them in mental distress condition as they would believe that they are doing wrong.
