Bodily Autonomy and the Value of Life

This chapter delves into the debate between bodily autonomy and the rights of the unborn within the context of abortion. It scrutinizes the argument for absolute bodily autonomy, presenting legal and moral challenges to the notion that such autonomy justifies the termination of innocent life. Through various examples and thought experiments, the discussion underscores the intrinsic value of all human beings, advocating for the protection of the unborn regardless of their developmental stage.
