Overview
Martin (human bioethics, Monash U.) introduces a position on abortion that does not rely on the usual markers such as fetal quickening or viability, but rather on empirically testable claims concerning the human fetus' psychological development. She argues that such development gives rise to a morally relevant form of potential prior to the fetus' birth, and that abortion from time forward is wrong. The treatment is developed from her master's thesis for Monash. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, ORBook Details
