  • Argument Against The Personhood Of A Fetus
    1,372 words
    Some have argued abortion is morally wrong because a fetus has a right to life. Yet, some of these people would make an exception in the case of rape. This stance is contradictory if there is a strict deontological position on "right to life" if it assumes that a fetus is a living person.

  • Term Mother
    532 words
    The commonly used point in which a fetus becomes a person has become the slippery slope, of course for lack of a better a term. In order to define an entity as a person there is a need to have certain criteria to evaluate them as a person and to have rights. The main point of the criteria is to deem it morally right to terminate an unborn baby. What criteria should we use to draw the line, or cut the rope between the born and unborn? When a child first has brain waves they seem to have the capac...
