Critically examining a wide range of arguments that attempt to prove that every human fetus has a right to life, he shows that each of these arguments fails on its own terms. He then explains how even if the fetus does have a right to life, abortion can still be shown to be morally permissible on the critique of abortion's own terms. Finally he considers several pro-life arguments that do not depend on claims that the fetus has a right to life and concludes that these too are ultimately unsuccessful. This major book will be especially helpful to those teaching applied ethics and bioethics in philosophy departments or professional schools of law and medicine. It will interest students of women studies and general readers for whom abortion remains a high-profile issue.Cambridge studies in philosophy and public policy.AbortionMoral and ethical aspectsAbortionMoral and ethical aspects.179.7/6Boonin David614796MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910965811703321A defense of abortion4375837UNINA
