Isi artikel

It is commonly held that there can be no morally relevant difference between a fetus inside the womb and about to be born and that same fetus just after it has been born. Birth, it is argued, cannot be a morally relevant fact in the process of developmenht from zygote to child. in the following I will term this the continuity Thesis. In the context of discussion of the moral significance of human life and the wrongness of taking it, this position has been rather influential. In particular, it has been a crucial pillar of arguments claiming that certain ways of arguing in defense of abortion commit one to accepting the moral validity of infanticide. Since it tends to be put forward and adopted as obvious, the time is ripe for submitting it to closer examination.
