A Primer on Fetal Personhood and Consciousness

December 5, 2022/0 Comments/in Ableism, Biology, Personhood, Philosophy /by Audrey Wagner

[Esta publicación está disponible en español aquí.] In the abortion debate, some pro-choice advocates deny that the fetus is a person, a person being defined as a human meriting moral consideration and legal protections.

February 26, 2021/0 Comments/in Ableism, Research /by Monica Snyder
