The Ethics of Life: Personhood and Value
This chapter engages in a philosophical debate on the distinction between prenatal life and personhood, questioning societal and scientific views on human value. It critiques the rationale behind designating certain humans as 'mere humans,' challenging definitions based on function and location rather than intrinsic ontology. The discussion emphasizes the importance of recognizing life beginning at conception, advocating for a reevaluation of common arguments surrounding abortion and the value of human life.
