| Description | The subject of the article is the relationship between information ethics and abortions. First, two kinds of information ethics are defined (information microethics and information macroethics) on the basis of the epistemological and ontological approaches to the concept of information. Then, the question of abortion is related to both information microethics and macroethics. A result of the research centered on the various questions of abortion as interpreted within information microethics is the statement that persons involved in abortions have the vested right to be truthfully informed before making the correct decision. This right is not to be breached through the dissemination of disinformation, and such a situation commits the administrators of information to controlling the content of published messages. A result of the investigation realized within information macroethics consists in the universal rejection of abortions as morally defective acts. |
