1. On the fear of punishment, I would probably still do it because I could still hide the cut wounds.

2. On what I will get out of it, I would feel better afterwards because I've expressed how I felt through a blade on my skin.

3. On acting on the need to be liked an approved, I would wouldn't do it because then people may think too badly of me for it.

4. On acting from advice from a higher authority, I would do it because it's not like the law is going to stop me.

5. On the consensus of society, depending on the group, I may or may not do it. If it were a normal group of people, I wouldn't. If it were others suffering like me and using this way to feel better, I would.

6. On the demands of justice, I wouldn't do it because it wouldn't be fair on others.

In the Bible, it does not menion much about homosexuality, but it id condemned as a sin. "If there is a man who lies with a male as those who lie with a woman, both of them have committed a detestable act; they shall surely be put to death. Their bloodguiltness is upon them" (Lev. 20:13)

4. Suicide

In the Catechism, Catholics can use this information to understand that everyone's is responsible for the lives given to them by God. Suicide is contrary to love for the living God. We should not despair if one takes their own life.

In the Bible, suicide is part of the Sixth Commandment "You shall not murder". Suicide is an act of murder and is a complex matter.

5. Lying

In the Catechism, Catholics can use this information to understand that the Lord denounces lying as the work of the devil, as it is destructive of society. It undermines the trust among people and tears apart social relationships. Lying is to be condemned.

In the Bible, it is clear that lying is a sin and is displeasing to God. The first sin in this world involved a lie told to Eve.

6. Abortion

In the Catechism, Catholics can use this information to know and understand that abortion is related to murder/death, because abortion takes life of another. Human life is sacred and should not be taken away under any circumstances.

In the Bible, it does not specifically mention abortion, but abortion is taking someone's life and the Bible is clearly against murder. It is wrong to murder a person and even the unborn are still people, therefore it is wrong to murder the unborn.
