A Critical Introduction to the Ethics of Abortion addresses some of
the most prominent and influential arguments to the abortion
debate. These include the Being a Person verses Functioning as a
Person Argument, women's rights vis-a-vis the rights of the foetus,
personhood as an essentially contested concept, and a virtue ethics
approach. Also covered are central bioethical issues concerning
prenatal screening, stem cell research and cloning. Based on a
critical assessment of the evidence, the book offers an impartial
view and draws on the importance of critical thinking and the logic
of argumentation. Providing an overview of the legal history of
abortion in the United States, it discusses five of the most
influential Supreme Court cases on abortion law during the past
fifty years and examines the current state of abortion law,
politics and the main trends. Presenting a balance between ethical
concepts, views and arguments, A Critical Introduction to the
Ethics of Abortion is an up-to-date introduction to the choice of
abortion illustrating the importance of evidence, clear thinking
and good arguments for supporting one's ethical beliefs.
