Question: What are the methods of Applied Ethics?

[The Voice of Time]

Question in title.

What are the methods used to form any reasonable Application of Ethical reasoning with following result?

As AE differs from Ethical Theory, or just, how can we say it relates to ethical theory at all? Casuistry deals with cases that seemingly have no ethical theory, but more a coverage of what result people can agree on. But what are your thoughts? What valid reasoning can be done within the Applications of Ethics?

Sry if questions seems hard to answer, attempts would still be welcome.

Hope you didn't hold your breath.
Guessing that most just want to opine about what is right or wrong.

The prof on the topic of abortion

The issue of abortion is an applied ethical topic since it involves a specific type of controversial behavior on the part of conscious human beings who show respect to one another and/or who value life as precious. But it also depends on more general normative principles, such as the right of self-rule and the right to life, which are 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?" My answer to this last question is that only beings that can take on responsibility have rights. If a fetus could show responsibility, it would have rights.

Let’s see if we can find the middle ground between the pro-abortionists and the anti-abortionists - even though I am keenly aware that fanatics in each camp are not interested in finding a compromise. Application of both the findings of medical science concerning the beginning of conscious human life, and the principles of value logic to the ethics of abortion, show us how to do it.

A good try, unfortunately it becomes a way of referencing and not a way of talking methodology. Prof's Axiological Science I'm deeply against for reasons I've explained before (mostly to do with accuracy, efficiency and reach), and it doesn't really say much about any method comparable to that which is out there and used today (I have a hard time imagining many people at all using anything near what Prof is talking about).

The way I see it people come up with suggestions and argue for and against... but what is their method? Is it just random inspiration after pondering or serendipity? Or is there some way in which we attain that understanding of specific situations?
