Choose between The Natural Law Theory and Divine Command Theory. Using the chosen ethical framework, evaluate the given moral issues below and provide the best and plausible moral decision. Case #1: Gretchen is a preacher in their church. She teaches children the bible and there include the Ten Commandments. It is said that killing a person is absolutely wrong. One day she found out that she has an ectopic pregnancy. Ectopic pregnancy is a type of pregnancy that occurs outside the uterus, most commonly in the fallopian tubes, which is not normal for a fetus to develop. If this happens, the development of the fetus will definitely endanger the mother. Thus, if Gretchen continues with her pregnancy, then there is a big possibility that she will die. According to experts, the best way to save Gretchen’s life is to abort the fetus, which necessarily implies killing the fetus. If she will not abort the fetus, then Gretchen as well as the fetus will die. Will she abort the child or will she take the risk of the pregnancy together with child and later on face its consequence?
