Which of the Following Would Count as an Objection to Warren's

Question 650

Multiple Choice

Which of the following would count as an objection to Warren's argument that abortion is morally permissible?


A) Human fetuses satisfy the criteria for personhood. Therefore, they have full and equal moral rights, including the right to life.
B) One's body is one's property. The fetus's body is its property. So, abortion is morally wrong since it involves destroying another human's property.
C) There is no evidence that nonhuman persons exist. Until there is, we should treat genetic humanity and the moral community as the same thing. It follows that human fetuses are members of the moral community. And it is therefore wrong to kill them.
D) The criterion for humanity is to be conceived by human parents. Since fetuses are human in this sense, abortion is morally wrong.
