Essay / Research Paper Abstract
A 5 page paper discussing the rights of a mentally ill and institutionalized pregnant woman extends to refusing the abortion on which her mother is insisting.

The deontological approach indicates that the woman does indeed have a right to bear her child if she chooses. No bibliography.

but his weakness lies in that he does not specify what constitutes equality. It can be said that any two or more people can arbitrarily be labeled as equal
in that they must have some point commonly shared, if that point is nothing but that they are both human. At times, such as in this case, there are
qualities that would indicate that there are more differences than points that could cause the individuals to be called equal to each other. In our own courts and indeed in
life we do not treat children as adults for matters such as discussed in judicial settings, and there are classes, or groups, of adults who would be at unfair disadvantage
were they to be said to be equal with others. Example can be found not only in Ann Brown but in the very aged or developmentally impaired, both of
