Ethical dilemmas and heated arguments on abortion very similar to
our own, exercised Greek and Roman doctors, philosophers,
historians, theologians, dramatists, novelists and poets. In this
study, Professor Kapparis extrapolates the views of ancient
physicians on abortion from a detailed investigation of the medical
facts, medical and philosophical theories concerning the human
status of the unborn in antiquity, the Hippocratic Oath, and other
important documents on Greek medical ethics. He explores the
reasons why women in antiquity sought abortions, male concerns and
attitudes towards abortion, and religious, social, cultural and
demographic trends influencing the legal status of abortion in
antiquity. "Abortion in the Ancient World" thus presents the
ancient debate on abortion and its ethics against its historical,
legal, economic, social and cultural background, and links it to
the modern debate.
