“The Moral and Legal Status of Abortion”

Week 8 Discussion 1

“The Moral and Legal Status of Abortion” Please respond to the following:

• Discuss Mary Anne Warren’s distinction between being human and being a person. Do you agree that being a person is a necessary condition for having a right to life? If we believe that there could be persons that are not human, or vice versa, what is the end result of that view? Who has the power to determine if a person is human or not? 
• Explain the statement: “Abortion is morally wrong.” Provide reasons and examples to support why a person would hold to this position.
