The Unborn

both physical and mental development, different kinds of deformities, and health issues are the most common risks for such babies, and to avoid it, abortions should be allowed. It’s necessary to point out that everybody deserves to live, even the unborn baby, but, from the other point of view, a woman, who might die delivering a baby, who was raped or whose child would have some serious issues, should have a right of choice.

on the table to defend her argument. It is true that the basic argument is not an accurate argument or one that can be used for every case. She isn’t claiming that abortions are always permissible or that it is permissible to secure the death of an unborn child. I do not believe in abortion for reasons I will not address at this time and therefore am not claiming to feel the same Thomson does about all of her arguments, but I do agree that the “right to life” argument is not a solid one.

mutation, can potentially be prevented by scientific gene manipulation. Ten percent of the cases of cancer in the United States are caused by genetics, not environmental or physical factors. So if doctors can manipulate the gene pool before birth in an unborn child, would that be an ethical thing to do?
