August 31, 2022/0 Comments/in Bodily Rights, Personhood, Philosophy /by Leslie Corbly

“The Conversation” Platforms Pro-Abortion Disinformation

August 26, 2022/1 Comment/in Biology, Personhood, Philosophy, Uncategorized /by Audrey Wagner

[Today’s guest article is by Audrey Wagner.] The Conversation claims to publish “trustworthy and informative articles written by academic experts.” So I was recently disheartened, and not just a little annoyed, when I found false premises, misleading information, and logical fallacies among three of their recent articles discounting the value of unborn humans in the […]

Six Illustrated Responses to “A Fetus Isn’t a Person”

August 15, 2022/0 Comments/in Personhood, Philosophy, Uncategorized /by Elise Ketch

[Today’s guest article and illustrations are by Elise Ketch.] So you’re a fetus defender, and a troll has appeared from the bowels of the internet to gatekeep basic human rights. “A human fetus doesn’t have rights unless it’s a person,” declares the troll, placing the obstacle of personhood between the fetus and their rights. “And […]

Is personhood derived from past, present, or future consciousness?

August 5, 2022/0 Comments/in Personhood, Uncategorized /by Guest Blogger

Today’s post is by Andrew Scherer I’ve thought a lot about what makes anyone a “person.” Perhaps “personhood” has only ever been a label that humanity has used as a linguistic gate-keeping device in order to justify oppression, cruelty, and the killing of people they do not like and want to eliminate. Can anyone else […]

Why artificial wombs pose a challenge to pro-choice personhood arguments

October 22, 2021/0 Comments/in Personhood, Philosophy, Uncategorized /by Alex Hyun

[Photo credit Patricia Prudente from Unsplash] Personhood and Artificial Womb Technology In 2017, artificial womb technology was successfully used to support lamb fetuses that had been transferred from their mothers, and there’s hope that this technology will soon be used on very premature human infants. This makes it important to think about the moral status […]

Personhood based on human cognitive abilities.

November 30, 2018/0 Comments/in Biology, Personhood, Research /by Monica Snyder

What difference is there (if any) between a human organism and a “person”? Is there such thing as a human non-person? How do we determine which human organisms have moral worth and merit social protection? People have given me a variety of suggestions for the factors human organisms need to be morally relevant, including connection […]

Kerckhove and Sara Waller (hereafter, K&W) called “Fetal Personhood and the Sorites Paradox.” [1] It’s not an argument I’ve seen very often but it was recently expounded by Kate Greasley in her book Arguments About Abortion: Personhood, Morality, and the […]
