Abortion is one of the important issues of medical ethics that moral philosophers talking about its permissibility or non-permissibility by relying on the principles of reasoning. One of these principles is the principle of not doing harm. Their entire duty is to prevent harming others. based on this principle, argue that the birth of a disabled fetus causes harm to the disabled child and those around him, and thus give moral justification for abortion. On the other hand, some people object to this argument and believe that the main harm is that a living being is aborted and destroyed. In this article, the aforementioned argument will be reviewed and criticized. using a library study method and in a descriptive-analytical manner. Based on the research findings, this argument faces criticism and the argument of non-harm can be used to justify the moral impermissibility of abortion of a disabled fetus. |
