Personal Code

Personal Code

The purpose of this assignment is for you to write your own Personal Code of Ethics (PCE) on the various issues covered in this course. Beginning in Module/Week 2, you will write a section of the code of ethics each module/week and submit it to your instructor for evaluation. Each section must be at least 250 words. The instructor will assess what you have written and make suggestions for clarification or improvement if necessary. Once you have received a section back, you will have the opportunity to revise it based on the instructor’s input. At the end of the course, you will submit the entire project for a final grade. The Final Submission must be at least 1,500 words. All parts of your Personal Code ———————-of Ethics must follow current Turabian format.————————–

PLEASE NOTE: While this is your own code of ethics, it should be written in a formal, academic and objective style. You should avoid all personal stories or references. Also, avoid being casual in style. Think of this as an official document. You might Google codes of ethics to get an idea of the style and manner I am looking for.

You are free and encouraged to refer to sources to support your view, including Scripture. However, you must write your Personal Code of Ethics in your own words. Do not just copy what you have read elsewhere. This is your code; make it your own. NOTE: Please do not quote or cite any sources in you PCE except scripture if you choose to do so (scripture is not required). Obviously your code of ethics is going to be influenced by what you have read in this course, but please do not cite it (and certainly do not plagiarize it by stating it word for word). You do not need to include any lengthy reasoning for your view unless you deem it necessary, since the code is simply a statement and brief explanation of the view you hold. However, a brief explanation of your reasoning might be necessary if your code reflects a position contrary to that promoted in class. Refer to the presentation “A Christian Manifesto” in the Module/Week 2 Reading & Study folder as as a model of the style and manner you should write in. . Your Personal Code of Ethics will include the 6 sections below and the final complete submission:

PCE – Preamble

I believe that ethics are integral to positive personality development, which presents a robust approach in maintaining an understanding of values and principles that shape my development. As a Christian, most of my beliefs and values are developed based on religious doctrine and knowledge of the word of God. My personal growth is defined based on a highly integrated system that improves my engagement across different systems.

Ethical theory

Virtue ethics is the ethical theory that presents a strong focus on my understanding of different aspects of personal development. Virtue ethics is defined based on mind, character and sense of honesty. The integration of these concepts presents an all-round personality where it is easy to understand what is right and wrong through an infusion of religious doctrines and personal understanding of better decisions that help promote a successful development level.

Values and principles

The significant benefits that form the foundation of my leadership philosophy include trust, honesty, commitment, and selflessness. Each of these values plays an integral role in implementing a highly successful system for the better change process. Improving the overall focus on the need to promote positive behavior on the wellbeing of different individuals helps create a more specific system that helps maintain a secure change process. The fear of God is the foundation of spiritual and personal greatness.

A statement about the value and limitations of medicine and medical care.

Medicine is integral to improve healthcare and individual wellbeing. Different individuals have varied beliefs that predict their level of development and commitment to medical care. Medical care is supposed to be practiced following strong personal religious beliefs.

A statement about the nature, purpose, and treatment of suffering

Suffering is a result of sin and a wrong decision that individuals undertake. Different settings have different values, principles, and regulations. Complying to this code of conduct across different settings limit suffering.

PCE – Beginning of life

Question 1

Life begins at conception, which is a vital aspect that should be considered in determining human development. Making better choices during child development begin with engaging the mother and ensuring that they subscribe to better issues that promote a sense of being. Consideration of fetus as human means that there is a greater understanding of important element that help emphasize the need to respect humanity. The time when life begins has been a major issue within the society, considering that different individuals argue differently with major emphasis being on abortion. However, life starts in a mother’s womb, which must be adequately assessed to improve fetal development (Dale, 2018).

Moral status, in this case, presents an understanding of the need to embrace positive behaviour. It is vital to protect life and ensure that the development process is not compromised. I believe in fetal viability, and thus it is essential to protect individual development which presents a more organized and overall commitment to improved outcomes in fetal development (Schopf, 2019). Acquiring moral status in fetal development is defined differently. An essential factor that needs to be assessed in this case is an expert assertion on the moral status of a fetus. According to opponents of abortion, a fetus gains moral status after it has been determined that they can survive outside the womb. However, this statement has not fully taken into consideration that life begins at inception.

The ability of the fetus surviving outside the womb is based on external factors which vary across different settings. This makes it difficult to conclude on the moral status of the fetus. Therefore fetal development presents a more effective and transparent emphasis on better processes which define fetal development. As the fetus continues to grow, their moral status keeps growing, which offer a highly effective on the need to understand and manage life because it is precious since conception.

Question 2

Human person encompasses different aspects which provide a detailed understanding of better processes which help identify significant changes that help in maintaining a highly successful focus on human development. Human social order is explained based on specific elements that define better change processes. The two constructs that help explain individual development involve existential and relational construct. Being a human person is an important aspect which focuses on transforming human development based on different concepts. Implementing positive change help guide and build a strong relationship that shapes personal development (Stroe, Knap & Stroe, 2018).

There are different factors that help in promoting a strong consideration of individual attributes which include reason, morality, self-consciousness or consciousness as well as being within a culturally established form of social relations. These elements help maintain a more significant commitment to better processes which help keep a strong commitment to the need for self-identity and overall consideration of improved understanding of human wellbeing.

Question 3

Abortion is an issue that has been assessed over the years with a clear emphasis on better changes which help maintain a stronger consideration of better changes which help promote a successful determination of improved outcomes. Abortion should not be allowed mainly as a result of the moral status of the fetus. Abortion violates the individual right to life. The right to life is a fundamental right that is enjoyed by all individuals across the world. No individual has a right to cut short the power of another individual regardless of the current issue. The life of any individual must be protected regardless of the underlying difficulties. The unborn child has the right not to be killed as well as the right to be provided with everything that can ensure that their life is protected. The decision to conduct abortion is against the principles of growth and consideration of life as sacred (Schopf, 2019).

Question 4

A significant exception that should be considered in this case should be when the life of the mother is compromised. The life of the fetus is essential and thus present a more transparent and practical understanding of the wellbeing of the mother. When the life of the mother is in danger. In this case, it is essential to prioritize the mother and ensure that they are protected while allowing for abortion to be conducted. Abortion can also be allowed when a physician advises that abortion is the best decision to protect the health of the mother (McHaffie, 2018).

The emphasis on restoring life should be given precedence than a decision to abort. There are significant issues regarding the right to abortion from a legal and ethical perspective. From a legal perspective, everyone has a right to live their life as they please, although this does not involve infringing the rights of others. Performing an abortion without any serious medical concern is an infringement to the rights of the unborn baby.

Question 5

There is a need to protect children regardless of what their future held. Improving individual development and overall understanding of these changes present a highly successful context where it would be possible to manage improved outcomes. Advocating for the killing of newborns offer an entirely different perspective in understanding humanity. The decision that is undertaken focuses on promoting improved behaviour and development of better processes that help in maintaining a strong focus on humanity. Stereotypes should not guide human conduct.
