Some have argued that embryos and fetues have the moral status of personhood because of certain criteria that are satisfied during gestation. However, these attempts to base personhood during gestation on intrinsic characteristics have uniformly been unsuccesful. Within a secular framework, another approach to establishing a moral standing, namely, consequentialist and contractarian arguments. This article puts forward a consequentialist argument for the conferred moral standing of preembyros, embryos, fetues, and infants. It states and defends an original versions of the commonly held view that moral standing increases during gestation. It also explores the implications of this viewpoint for several issues: what is involved in showing 'respect' for preembryos; and whether it is permissible to create preembryos solely for research.
