Andrea Borg Professor Ethics 12/2/2021 Journal Pope John believes the culture is turning into a “culture of death”, personally what I believe he means in that statement is that it is a culture that is deemed to be inconsistent with the culture of life. The “culture of death” is cultures that support of abortion, euthanasia, humiliation and the list goes on, Also, the use of contraceptives is deemed as a culture of death as it is a way of having sex just for pleasure and blocking a baby’s life. I believe that it is an accurate assessment of trends in our culture, but I don’t necessarily believe that it is a bad idea to use contraceptives or even the idea of abortion. The reason why it is an accurate assessment of trends in our culture is simply because I is much easier to access contraceptives now a days then in the past and it is actually advertised a lot, “have safe sex” and also it is something that a lot of kids are being lectured by their parents about Personally, I don’t really believe in what he is saying because I don’t think it is a bad idea for the us of contraceptives or abortions because if you are not in a place to have a kid then simply use contraceptives and if you use contraceptives, you wouldn’t even have to think about having an abortion. If you were to keep the kid and bring him into a world where you can’t take care of him/her because you are financially unstable then other options might be better than keeping the baby. Overall, I can see where Pope John is getting at with the culture of death because there are a lot of situations now a days where abortion is highly used which technically is taking away a baby’s life but ultimately if you cant take care of a baby then maybe the best thing to do is not bring him into this world, I’m not saying I am with abortion but sometimes it could be necessary option.
