1. Jenna is a loving mother of 6 who tries to make ends meet by offering her services for laundry, cleaning houses,
taking care of kids or old folks and just basically accepting any job she can. The husband on the other hand, is a
carpenter who recently had an accident. While recovering, he is selling all sorts of items. One day, Jenna found out
that she is pregnant again with twins. They cannot afford another mouth to feed, let alone two. Despite neighbors
telling her to have an abortion, she decided to continue with her pregnancy because for her, she cannot entertain the
idea of killing her unborn children. However, as soon as they were born, she gave them up for adoption to a childless
couple.
For virtue ethics, the determination of whether a person is good or bad, is dependent on the answer to the
question given above, What sort of person ought I to be? This question focuses on the character traits one is
supposed to have in order for that person to be considered as ethical. For virtue ethics, an ethical person is a
virtuous person, that is, one who has morally good traits of character.
