Moral Problemeuestion #1: ln Rawls’s view. justice is fairness — e.g., “to each his due”. Would it be fair to raise a severely deformed baby with other children in the family’? would the other children get what they are due alongside the inordinate requirements of time, energy, and financial resources that would be required to raise or save the severely malformed child’? Or, if the other children did receive what they are due, would there be sufficient time. energy, and other resources to attend to the needs of the deformed child’? Discuss this matter to one of your peers and justify your moral decision in light of any ethical theory of your choice. Moral Frohlemeuestion #2: [f you happen to know someone with severe deformities. would you suggest the parents opt for multiple operations, ordinary measures, nature to take its course, or put an end to the baby’s life by painless means?
