1.RAISING THE PROBLEM

Situation Ethics was pioneered by Joseph Fletcher. Since his work, Situation Ethics (1966), almost every publication on contemporary ethics has referred to the model

presented in Fletcher's writings. 

From a real case

"In 1962 , a patient of a state psychiatric center raped a sick from that same institution , a young maiden afflicted deep schizophrenic psychosis . By knowing what happened , the father of the victim sued the hospital through culpable negligence and sought to put an end to unwanted pregnancy, an abortion immediately provoked his daughter when he was still in the early stage of gestation. The management and hospital administrators did not agree to such a lawsuit claiming that the penal code prohibits any kind of abortions , except for “ therapeutic " -that is, those practiced when is in danger the life of the mother , because assumes that the moral law considers a crime any interference in the development of an embryo after fertilization of the egg , as this means taking the life of an innocent human being .”

“The theological systems , in which the highest good is pleasure (hedonism) , self-interest (egoism), the best social interest (utilitarianism) , or a subjective sense of love (Ethics of the situation) has no roots in the word of God ... Only when Christians , armed with devotion, prayer and value make them face the dilemmas of life can avoid follow their own inclination to sin” KIS Miroslav. Theology. Vol VII.
