Question

What are the arguments for and against the idea that fertility control is a moral dilemma rather than preventive medicine?

Answer 1

The argument for this fact has a lot of cultural influence. It is stated to be a moral dilemma as one is hindering their normal body process and going against the desire to have kids. It is also stated to be immoral in various religions and states it as an act against "god's will" or the "law of nature" . Hence it can be seen that in many countries ,women are still not allowed to legally get sterilized unless they have a medical condition or are above a certain age with at least one child. However, the argument that goes against it, that is stating it as a form of preventive medicine have gained a lot of public support over recent years . It has been stated how it is the choice of an individual and the basic right to freedom and privacy that is required by the individual . Another argument states that it is better to go for fertility control than go for abortion.
