    criticism of Virtue Ethics is that it doesn’t give clear guidance on how to act in specific circumstances. It cannot tell us what the law should be about abortion‚ euthanasia‚ pre-implantation genetic diagnosis etc. It gives no clear answer to questions such as ’Is the environment intrinsically valuable?’.

Many critics say Virtue Ethics simply

    Essay One topic that I feel very strongly about is the pro-choice movement. Many women who are pro-choice and support medical and surgical abortions are extremely criticized.
