To a number of people who are against this procedure, they are losing a lot of trust in health professionals, and end up creating a negative view of the health faculty. Since these issues are of considerable concern to the public, especially when health is a matter of discussion, the health professional should try and explain the need and disadvantages of this procedure.

While some cultures encourage the easing of pain during dying, some other cultures believe that death and life should not interfered with by a human being as it is considered a supernatural force. Abortion in most cultures is considered a sin, and a lot of condemnation is attributed to those people who have performed it. Life is considered precious. In recent times, abortion may not be an issue to the existing culture since it now readily accepted and understood.
