Question

question 7
\genetic screening is morally acceptable since it allows a potential mother to weigh her risk of a life - threatening birthing process, the only justification for terminating a pregnancy.\
to which theory of ethics is the person who made this statement likely appealing?

• conventionalism
• virtue - based ethics
• divine command theory
• kantian deontology

Explanation:

The statement justifies genetic screening by its outcome: enabling a mother to avoid a life-threatening birth (the only allowed reason for pregnancy termination). Conventionalism focuses on moral acceptability based on outcomes/consequences of actions, which matches this reasoning. Virtue ethics centers on character traits, divine command on religious rules, and Kantian deontology on universal moral duties, none of which align with the outcome-focused justification here.

Answer:

Conventionalism
