Their conversations over five days - friendly but lively, charitable but clear - are captured in this book.　 \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThrough these dialogues, students and other interested readers are introduced to the difficult moral issues of abortion. In Chapter 1, readers learn about \u003ci\u003eRoe v. Wade\u003c\/i\u003e and other relevant legal cases. Chapter 2 covers basic, philosophical issues such as: What is a person? Are fetuses persons? Is fetal potential morally relevant? How shall we define the moral community? Chapter 3 introduces students to Don Marquis's \"Why Abortion is Immoral\" and also the metaphysical issues of personal identity and its relevance to abortion. Chapter 4 covers Judith Jarvis Thomson's \"A Defense of Abortion\", including objections and responses to the argument from bodily autonomy. Finally, Chapter 5 looks at abortion in hard cases, such as in cases of rape, fetal disability, non-viable pregnancies, and sex-selection; the chapter also includes a conversation on fathers and abortion.　　　 \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWith a Foreword by Laurie Shrage, topics headings in the margins, and an annotated bibliography, \u003ci\u003eDialogues on the Ethics of Abortion\u003c\/i\u003e is an easy-to-use volume and valuable resource for anyone interested in a fair and clear-headed approach to one of the most contentious moral issues of our time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bertha Alvarez Manninen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/17\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeries:\u003c\/b\u003e Philosophical Dialogues on Contemporary Problems\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 166\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.48lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.39d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780367616564","brand":"Routledge","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43311347368073,"sku":"9780367616564","price":48.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_b348e1cc-303a-4011-8837-6c213f34e88f.jpg?v=1738053529","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/dialogues-on-the-ethics-of-abortion-9780367616564","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
