问题     In our society, there are many ethical dilemmas that we are faced with that are virtually impossible to solve. One of the most difficult and【S1】______ issues that we are faced with is abortion. There are many strong arguments both for and against the right to have an abortion which are so complicated that it becomes impossible to resolve. The【S2】______ of this issue lies in the different aspects of the argument. The essence of a person, rights, and who is【S3】______ to these rights, is a few of the many aspects which are very difficult to define.  There are also issues of what circumstances would【S4】______ abortion. Because the issue of abortion is virtually impossible to solve, all one can hope to do is understand the different aspects of the argument so that if he or she is faced with that issue in their own lives, they would be able to make【S5】______ and thoughtful decisions in dealing with it.
    The definition of a person is an aspect of the abortion issue which raises some very difficult questions. Is an【S6】______ baby a person? When does the unborn baby become a person? This is a difficult question because in order for one m answer it, he must define the essence of a person. When describing the essence of something, one needs to describe the necessary and sufficient【S7】______ of that thing. So how does one define the essence of a person? Kant describes a person as a rational being. Some people define the essence of a person from more of a biological standpoint. Nevertheless, defining the essence of a person is a very difficult thing for a group of people to agree on. One’s own definition of a person would most likely greatly impact his opinion on whether abortion is morally justified or not. This becomes even more complicated when one takes into【S8】______ potentiality. This raises the question of whether the fetus is an actual person or a potential person. Many would argue that a fetus is a potential person because it is has the potential to become what it is not【S9】______. However, does a potential person have potential rights? An example was used: does a potential doctor have the rights of a【S10】______ doctor? When one is describing potentiality, All he is really describing is what that thing is not. By declaring that a fetus is a potential person, one is also stating that a fetus is not a person. As one can see, this issue of the essence of a person and whether a fetus is a person is a very complicated one.
