A Perfect Response
In Response to the Following Question, raised in my Bioethics Final Exam, worth 20% of the essay section, I provided a reply that I shall frame and showcase in my hall of academic honor:
Q3. What significant moral issues would come into play if the woman in question was not Mrs. M but one of her underage daughters? Explain your answer with at least two strong moral points aside from legal issues.
Kindly note that, as detailed in the submission, I have politely declined an affirmative response to Question 3 but do so not out of disregard or disrespect. I 'merely' see that an affirmative response will lead to 'perverse consequences' that I do not stand for...The application of any ethical principle which leads to a disastrous end cannot be, by itself, the basis for action.
At the expense of 10 points, I must politely decline the opportunity to raise “other significant moral issues” where the question focuses on a matter of individual age. While it will be of no difficulty to suggest principles, I find it difficult to adopt any knowing that such would lead to perverse solutions.
Essentially, by virtue of moral conviction, I declined the opportunity to answer the question.... Of course, while anyone could provide the response, it is the ability to receive an affirmation from your professor that the above response is in-itself adequate and proper for the question that makes my response MINDBLOWING.
I am still expecting an A1 / A2 for my Bioethics Class... but once again, I don't see how I can ever do badly in ethics. Ever.

Welcome to my World...
"And at 23, with so much [to] fear, all I ask for is of your continued blessings, grace and watching over. That as you have through all my life, provide for me, guide me, mold me. That not a day goes by that I not look up to the Heavens Above praying for that Big Break but yet knowing that success lies in my own doings...
Be with me as I spread my wings. Guide me, as I fly. Hold me, as I soar.... for my life and works are in your hands..."

For your many many blessings, Thank You
