Imagine That Your Friend Gets Pregnant Unintentionally

Essay

Imagine that your friend gets pregnant unintentionally. (The condom broke. We're not talking about rape.) In the first part of your paper, summarize your friend's circumstances-her relationship status, where she is in her degree, her financial means, her family support, and so on. In the second half of your paper, discuss how Rosalind Hursthouse might both (a) assess what your friend has done already and (b) advise your friend about how to move forward. In other words, you need to (a) explain whether your friend has made any moral mistakes already and (b) discuss the virtues and vices that are relevant to your friend's decision about her pregnancy.
