Of the four responses offered in the scenario‚ I personally think that option A is the most ethical of all. I fully agree with Dr. William that the “priority is the real known‚ verifiable life of the mother‚ and not the potential‚ dependent life that she is carrying” (Abortion‚ 2016).

NTOCGAI Interpretive Response In the poem “next to of course god america i” by E.E Cummings‚ the poet relays a seemingly patriotic dialogue.
