Case Study on Moral Status
All individuals possess own set of values, ethics and moral values developed over time,
shaped by their relationships, life experiences, own worldview and moral compass. The moral
compass of a person guides their routine decision making in their lives and professional careers
while helping them determine what is right and wrong. Besides, the moral compass allows
people out of situations involving different paths that look morally right but containing varying
resolutions and outcomes. In the healthcare sector, it is essential to not only take account of your
moral compass and personal worldview but also that of others around you.
1. What is the Christian view of the nature of human persons, and which theory of
moral status is it compatible with? How is this related to the intrinsic social value
Christians state that human beings are created by God and in His image, hence have some
knowledge and cognitive abilities absent in other objects. Christian theologians state that their
place determines the standing of objects in the creation of God and the object’s appeal to humans
to act as a steward of nature. Items hold an ontological position since they are also part of the
creation, and people have to respect this position (Jaworska & Tannenbaum, 2013). Nature has
moral stance and therefore, the moral status of ecology. That means humans are expected to act
as moral agents and make judgements on what is right and wrong. According to Beauchamp &
Childress (2013), being a moral agent conforms with the intrinsic value of persons since they can
identify motives judged as good or bad. Besides, the formation and bevelment of humans by God
builds the human dignity. That means intrinsic human dignity has a moral status of the human
being. The ideology is what provides the moral status of the embryo or fetus.
