173 Words1 Page

Prenatal Development: Conception through Five Months was written by Francis J. Beckwith. This article is about seeing if abortion is justified or unjustified by starting from conception to the sixth month of pregnancy. Francis says that pregnancy begins at conception. During the first month of pregnancy, the sperm and ovum connect, which is called a zygote. A zygote is a combination of DNA from both the mother and father. The zygote is biologically alive in four criterias: metabolism, growth, reaction to stimuli, and reproduction. Francis says that at conception you are a human so abortion is murder.

    He also states “the fetus, or unborn baby, is a distinct individual. Even though it resides inside its mother, it is a separate entity genetically (Johnson).” Bringing science into the controversial topic, Johnson implicates that women doesn’t have a right to her own body because the baby is essentially a human of itself, with its own DNA and blood types. So, saying that women should have a right to their own body means that the baby doesn’t, meaning that the baby isn’t a human to some people and therefore shouldn’t be considered when it comes to abortions. Johnson also claims in an unfortunate situation such as rape, incest, or medical reasons the decision to abort the baby should be between the mother, family and doctor.

  • Is Abortion Morally Permissible

    632 Words  | 3 Pages

    The debate whether abortion is morally permissible or not permissible is commonly discussed between the considerations of the status of a fetus and ones virtue theory. A widely recognized theory of pro-choice advocates can be thought to be that their ethical view is that fetus’s merely are not humans because they lack the right to life since they believe a fetus does not obtain any sort of mental functions or capability of feelings. Although this may be true in some cases it is not in all so explaining the wrongness of killing, between the common debates whether a fetus does or does not obtain human hood, should be illustrated in a way of a virtuous theory. The wrongness of killing is explained by what the person or fetus is deprived of, such as their right to life; not by means of a heart beat or function of one’s body, but by the fact that it takes their ability of potentially growing into a person to have the same human characteristics as we do.

Some arguments qualify this statement further by focusing on the foetus acquiring a functioning brain. Once the foetus acquires a rudimentary brain or a functioning brain, it qualifies for personhood. Hence only killing a foetus without a brain or a functioning brain is justified. These arguments on the whole try to establish a cognitive criterion for personhood.

    . If one believes life starts at conception then abortion would be regarded as immoral and wrong at any stage of the pregnancy. If one believes life starts when a heart beat is first registered, then only from then on the abortion would be regarded as immoral and wrong; and so on. This proceeds as true with supporting evidence straight from the categorical imperative – if one decides that killing their neighbor, parent or child is not okay, then killing a zygote/embryo/fetus is regarded as immoral.
