5 Religion and Medical Ethics Christianity The Sanctity of Human Life The Sanctity of Human Life means that human life is sacred or holy (special to God) and therefore precious, because it is God-given and should be respected. Only humans are created in the Image of God ; only humans have souls.
6 Abortion Definition: Abortion is the deliberate termination of an unwanted pregnancy In the UK, the time limit for a legal abortion is 24 weeks (pregnancy = 40 weeks). Abortion was made legal to stop Back Street abortions. The Roman Catholic Church is against abortion because it believes: a) Human life starts at conception b) Human life is sacred You shall not kill and therefore abortion is murder c) Adoption is better than abortion. The Church Of England is in favour of some abortion because it believes: a) Jesus command to show love and sympathy must always come first, even before the command to protect life at all costs. b) Abortion is sometimes the lesser of two evils, which means that allowing a woman to have an abortion might be less of an evil than forcing her to have the child. This might be true in cases where: the mother s life is at risk; the pregnancy is the result of rape; the foetus is severely deformed.
7 Fertility Treatment Definition: Fertility treatment is medical help to enable a woman to become pregnant. There are a range of methods available to help couples conceive, including: a) AIH artificial insemination using the husband s sperm b) Donor Methods sperm and egg / embryo donation c) In vitro fertilisation (IVF) medical procedure where an egg is fertilised in a laboratory, leading to the term test tube babies d) Surrogacy where a fertile woman allows her womb to be used to carry a child for an infertile woman Christian Responses to the Methods a) AIH is accepted by all Christians as it does not interfere with the marriage or the sanctity of life. It helps couples to have children, which is what God wants for the human race. b) Donor methods are rejected by many Christians (e.g. Roman Catholics) because they believe that sex between husband and wife is the only way to conceive a child (i.e. donor methods are like having an affair). They also have concerns about the use of a donor as this might cause identity problems for the child later in life who are my parents?
8 c) IVF creates spare embryos that are then destroyed or used in experiments For RC Christians, life begins at conception, so an embryo is considered as a life and destroying it is killing a life. RC Christians also argue that a child is a gift, not a right. Childlessness can be part of God s plan for them frees them up to do other things! d) Most Christians reject surrogacy because it makes the child an item of sale. However, some accept it if it arranged within the family (e.g. one sister is a surrogate for another).
9 Cloning Definition: Cloning is the method where cells are copied so that new cells have the same DNA. There are two types of cloning: Reproductive producing a new human / animal that is genetically identical (Dolly the Sheep was the first ever cloned mammal) Therapeutic cloning of particular cells to produce medical treatments such as new organs Benefits of Cloning: Scientists argue that cloning has many potential benefits, such as creating: i. New organs for people who need transplant surgery ii. Better treatments for life threatening illnesses. Christian Concerns: Christians believe that every human life is unique and created by God. It is wrong to artificially create new life Cloning involves creating embryos, many of which will end up being destroyed. Many Christians (e.g. RC Christians) believe that anything that leads to the destruction of embryos is wrong. On the other hand, some Christians argue that while reproductive cloning is wrong, therapeutic cloning can be acceptable if very early embryos are used (up to 14 days). This could lead to important new medical treatments.
10 Euthanasia Definition: Euthanasia literally means a gentle and easy death. It is sometimes called mercy killing or assisted suicide. There are TWO main types of euthanasia: Active euthanasia when a person chooses to die, but needs someone to take action to help them to die e.g. a lethal injection. This is also voluntary euthanasia. Passive euthanasia when treatment is withdrawn or withheld e.g. a Do Not Resuscitate Order ACTIVE EUTHANASIA IS ILLEGAL IN THE UK Christian Responses Most Christians argue that euthanasia is wrong, because: a) Life is sacred and God-given, therefore only God should decide when we die b) Jesus healed the sick and the dying and always treated people with compassion we should do the same o A good example of this is the Hospice Movement which aims to help those who are dying to die naturally through the use of special medical care. c) Euthanasia is killing You shall not kill. (Ten Commandments) d) The most vulnerable members of society, such as the elderly, deserve to be protected, not pressurised into euthanasia.
11 However, other Christians believe that euthanasia can be acceptable because: a) Jesus said Love your neighbour as yourself - Isn t the most loving option sometimes to help someone end their suffering? b) God has given us free will we are able to decide when to die. c) Euthanasia allows a person to die with dignity, free from pain and suffering.
12 Suicide Definition: Suicide is where someone deliberately takes their own life In the past, the Church condemned suicide as a sin. Those who committed suicide were not allowed to be buried in churchyards. However, today many Christians have a more sympathetic approach. Christians who believe that suicide is always wrong argue: Suicide shows a lack of faith in God to help you with your problems The RC Church teaches that suicide is a mortal sin this is a sin that results in hell Christians who believe that suicide is wrong, but that compassion needs to be shown, argue: Suicide is sometimes a cry for help and may be the result of mental illness, such as serious depression. People who are suicidal need help not condemnation. Jesus treated the sick and the dying with compassion The Parable of the Good Samaritan teaches that we ought to help those who are in need, whoever they are or whatever their problems. The Samaritans This charity provides support for people who are feeling suicidal. They provide 24hr telephone lines where people can speak to trained helpers. The Samaritans was started by a Christian priest in response to the number of suicides of young people in London. This organisation takes its name from the Parable of the Good Samaritan.
13 Vivisection Definition: Vivisection refers to animal testing. For example, animals are used in medical research. Some Christians (e.g. Roman Catholics) argue that the use of animals in medical research is acceptable. They argue that: It has brought important benefits to humans and animals, such as new surgical treatments and medicines that would not have been found without the use of animals. Humans are superior to animals and therefore they can use animals for their own benefit. This could include using animals in medical research to develop treatments for the benefit of humans Other Christians (e.g. Quakers) argue that the Bible principle of stewardship means that humans cannot use animals as they wish: Experiments on animals are often done without pain relief. This involves great suffering for the animals. The Bible condemns cruelty to animals. The species differences between animals and humans means that the use of animals in medical research often fails to work, so the suffering caused to the animals is unnecessary.

16 Religion, Poverty and Wealth Islam Wealth and the Causes of Poverty The United Nations identifies six basic needs: food, clean water, housing, health care, education and work. A country in severe poverty is classed as one that cannot meet these needs for most of its population. Causes of Poverty: Poor countries (e.g. Ethiopia) owe massive debts to the wealthy countries (e.g. USA, UK) and cannot even afford to pay the interest on these loans. Poor countries grow crops, such as coffee and cotton, to sell to richer countries to try and pay off debts, rather than feeding their own populations. Poor countries are in the hottest parts of the world, where the growing of food crops is difficult as there is little rain. Civil War in some countries causes serious poverty. Unstable governments. Effects of Poverty: Poverty is often linked with low life expectancy, poor levels of education and health, and high levels of unemployment. Charity refers to any help or money given to those in need. Examples could include voluntary work, donating clothes to a charity, and raising money for a good cause.
17 Muslim beliefs about money and wealth NOTE: a Muslim is a follower of the religion of Islam The Quran (Holy Book) teaches that Allah (God) is the true owner of all wealth and that humans are only trustees of their wealth, with the responsibility to use it wisely. Zakah this is compulsory giving and is the Third of the Five Pillars of Islam. It means clean. By doing Zakah, a wealthy Muslim is cleansed of greed and selfishness. They give 2.5% of their savings each year to help those in need in the Muslim community. Sadaqah- this is voluntary giving that all Muslims try to do, on top of their zakat payments. Muhammad said that sadaqah is a better judge of a Muslim s true faith, because it is voluntary. Muslim charities include Islamic Relief and Muslim Aid. Fasting - during the month of Ramadan, all Muslims fast during daylight hours. One of the reasons for this is to understand what it is like to be poor and starving. Eid - this is the festival at the end of the Ramadan fast. A special payment is made by those with money so those who are poor can join in the celebrations.
18 Two uses of money that are forbidden to Muslims: Gambling is forbidden (Haram), because it can be addictive and the cause of people going into debt, which means that they cannot provide for their families. Gambling is betting on games of chance for money. Examples include the National Lottery, playing roulette in a casino, betting on horses in a Betting Shop, and playing on fruit machines in an arcade. Charging Interest (Riba) on money loaned is forbidden to Muslims. It is money not earned honestly and it makes the rich richer and the poor poorer. For example, people often go into debt by borrowing from Loan Sharks. In Muhammad s day, people were sold into slavery to pay off loan-debt.
19 Moral and immoral occupations A moral occupation is any job that is acceptable as a means of earning money. An immoral occupation is any job that is unacceptable. It is Haram. The Qur an teaches that it is the duty of every Muslim man to work and provide for himself and his family. It is dishonourable to live off charity unless there is no alternative. Muslims have a duty to develop their skills and talents for the benefit of society. Work is an important way of developing self-respect. All honest work is considered equal there should be no snobbery. Many of the prophets had ordinary jobs e.g. Moses was a shepherd, Jesus was a carpenter, and Muhammad was a trader Unfair trading is considered wrong and is classed as theft Some occupations have a higher status because they help people directly, such as jobs in education and medicine. Some jobs are forbidden (haram) to Muslims. These include: o Any job in the alcohol industry (e.g. working in a pub) o Any job in the gambling industry (e.g. casino worker) o Any job in the sex industry (e.g. porn model or prostitute) o Any job that involves working with pork (e.g. pork butcher) o Any job in the financial sector, involving the charging of interest (e.g. loan shark)

[3] (d) Why might Muslims give money to charity? [6] (e) People must look after their family before they worry about the poor. Discuss this statement. You should include different, supported points of view and a personal viewpoint. You must refer to Islam in your answer. [12] (a) State ONE cause of world hunger.
