  Assessment Description
This assignment will focus on introducing you to the question of human dignity and, in particular, the Christian
perspective of the intrinsic worth and value of each person. You will have the opportunity to integrate this
insight with scientifc and philosophical approaches that inform judgements made in health care and contrast
it with secular approaches to human value and worth. The logic of human rights will be made explicit as you
engage with diferent concepts of “moral status.”  Based on your reading of the “Case Study: Fetal Abnormality” and topic Resources, complete the “Moral
Status: Case Analysis” document, in which you will analyze the case study in relation to the following:
Christian view of the nature of human persons, theory of moral status, intrinsic human value, and dignity
Theory or theories used by individuals in the case to determine the moral status
How each theory used determines or infuences recommendations for action
Moral status theory personal response
Integration of knowledge in health care (theories, multiple ways of knowing, evidence) and knowledge from
other disciplines inform and support current or future professional health care practices and judgements
Support your response using only Chapter 2 from the textbook Practicing Dignity: An Introduction to Christian
Values and Decision-Making in Health Care and the Topic 2 Resource “The Image of God, Bioethics, and Persons
With Profound Intellectual Disabilities.”
