Cоntrаceptiоn is generаlly gоing to be considered wrong/immorаl by natural law theorists, since it goes against what they believe is the natural process of procreation.
Cоnsider the ethicаl dilemmа belоw (frоm pаges 144-145). Compare and contrast how Kant's ethics and Natural Law Theory would likely evaluate the researcher's actions.*** Remember that copying/pasting from our eBook/course materials, the internet, or using AI like ChatGPT to “write” your answer violates my Academic Integrity policy. USE YOUR OWN WORDS or, if you are unable to do that, properly quote/informally cite them as I discuss in the Academic Integrity section of the Syllabus ***-----A researcher is conducting an experiment using one hundred adult subjects, hoping to finally discover a cure for liver cancer. Conducting this one last study is the only way to identify the substance that can cure the disease and save the lives of countless people. However, the experiment causes long-lasting, horrible pain in the subjects, and they will not be able to benefit in any way from the study’s success. The researcher would ordinarily never be able to enlist any subjects for the study because of these two facts, so to ensure the cooperation of the subjects, he lies to them: he says that being a part of the study will be painless and that it will increase their life span. The study is completed, the cure is found, and the subjects spend the next year in agony.
