Description
Abortion Personhood, Morality, and Law by Kate Greasley explores the complex relationship between abortion, morality, and law. The book delves into the philosophical notion of 'personhood' to offer an alternative account to existing debates. Greasley examines the moral and legal status of abortion in three parts, considering the relevance of prenatal personhood for the evaluation of abortion, tracing the key features of conventional debates about when personhood begins, and analyzing abortion law and regulation. The book concludes with a look at the current controversy surrounding the right to conscientiously object to participation in abortion provision. This thought-provoking analysis provides a nuanced exploration of the issues surrounding abortion, making it a valuable resource for those interested in the subject.
