Zika Ethically Challenged Women

About three years ago, the Zika epidemic ethically challenged women in different nations. According to the World Health Organization, the outbreak of this virus was announced as a global health emergency. It was noted that the cause of the virus cause birth defects, which the birth of a child to a mother can result to microcephaly. Health officials and government took quick action, which led to a debate on what women should do to prevent the defect from occurring. They established to make choices for women, in hopes for the best, taking control over their reproductive rights.
One of the top ways that experts successfully responded to the outbreak was by suggesting pregnant women and tourists to not travel to areas where the outbreak resulted all time high. However, the women in areas where the infection spread rapidly, for example Latin America, suffered the most. Law enforcements and lack of resources and support, many women are unable to protect themselves from the Zika. Research has soon that women in poor countries and with poor healthcare were endanger the most. But speaking realistic is it really the woman’s responsibility of having a baby during an outbreak of such? Well no, women should an abundant of preventions to choose from.

Abortion and other contraception were a suggestion, though in some countries it was against the law and too much to fund.

But what else did they advise women to do in the Zika epidemic so they would not break the law or was unable to afford healthcare? They recommend women to postpone from getting pregnant and being sexually active. Apparently getting bit by a mosquito was not the only way to get the Zika. The developing Zika test reported that is could be sexual transmitted. Not knowing how long the outbreak would last, women had to basically protect themselves – from men and the virus itself – just to not get pregnant and or be infected by the

virus.
Furthermore, one of the best solutions to minimize conflicting with the rights of women and the choices they make with their own bodies would be repellent spray. Sprays like insecticide and larvicide are well effective and easy. Simply have a team of pest-control officials and local resident take control in protecting their own surroundings. Vaccinations are always a reliable way, but not all people believe in getting vaccinated. So having pest-control workers and individuals involved can save politics from getting too involved. It would defect the purpose of health officials and the government from debating and stirring up drama with women reproductive rights. Why established to make choices for women, when women were meant to reproduce whenever they want, if wanted to.
