This title was first published 2000: Ever since Michael Tooley
published his article on "Abortion and Infanticide" in 1972, the
abortion debate has revolved around questions such as: "What is a
person?"; "What is it that gives persons the right to life?"; and
"Is it wrong to kill potential persons?" This study defends a
position that accepts elements from both the liberal and
conservative tradition. Following Tooley, Tracie Martin understands
personhood in terms of psychological states and agrees that early
foetuses who lack the relevant mental states are not persons. While
this might seem a victory for the liberal tradition, Martin then
goes on to provide an empirically-based argument for the view that
by 24-weeks gestation foetuses have acquired the relevant
characteristics that provide strong grounds for thinking that it is
directly wrong to kill such foetuses.
