Applied ethics
Applied ethics is a discipline of philosophy

that attempts to apply ethical theory to reallife situations.

The lines of distinction between meta-ethics,
normative ethics, and applied ethics are often
blurry.
For example, the issue of abortion can be
seen as an applied ethical topic since it
involves a specific type of controversial
behavior.

Applied ethics

It can also depend on more general

normative principles, such as possible rights of
self-rule and right to life, principles which are
often litmus tests for determining the morality
of that procedure.
The issue also rests on meta-ethical issues
such as, "where do rights come from?" and
"what kind of beings have rights?"

Applied ethics
Applied ethics is used in determining public

policy. For example, the following would be

questions of applied ethics:
"Is getting an abortion immoral?"
"Is euthanasia immoral?
"Is affirmative action right or wrong?"
"What are human rights, and how do we
determine them?"
"Do animals have rights as well?"

Applied ethics
A more specific question could be:
"If someone else can make better out of his/her

life than I can, is it then moral to sacrifice myself

for them if needed?
Without these questions there is no clear fulcrum
on which to balance law, politics, and the practice
of arbitration in fact, no common assumptions
of all participantsso the ability to formulate the
questions are prior to rights balancing.
