Do people have the right to a child, for example, is it right to consider IVF in order to have a child?

There are many ethical dilemmas and issues involved with IVF. Today, the BBC reported the case of an embryo that had wrongly been implanted in another woman. This already raises issues of parenthood. However, the mistake was discovered, and the pregnant woman was given the morning after pill. This raises further issues of abortion and the ethical nature of IVF. Read the article here – what would different ethical theorists have to say about this situation?

The STM Blogs have been set up as a pilot, and I have been using them this year only with the classes I teach (which are all KS3 and KS4). So the two A-Level blogs have not been used (although the old blog was used last year as my first experiment).

However, you can find more evidence of how I am using blogs with my classes at the following sites:

Year 7 STM RE Blog
Year 8 STM RE Blog
Year 9 STM RE Blog
GCSE RS STM Blog

There is also an RE ‘Hub’. I mainly use these blogs as a means of setting homework and providing helpful hints and links to useful websites (see especially the Year 9 blog for useful websites).

Please feel free to leave comments – but it’s probably best to do that on the Hub page! And thanks for passing by!
