Product Description
Product Description
The book has two main concerns. The first is to isolate the fundamental issues that must be resolved if one is to be able to formulate a defensible position on the question of the morality of abortion. The second is to determine the most plausible stand on those issues.

WHEN DOES A FETUS/BABY BECOME A PERSON?
12 Aug 2010
Format:Paperback
Michael Tooley
Abortion and Infanticide
(Oxford: Claredon, 1983)
This is a careful philosophical exploration of the concepts and
moral arguments concerning the practices of abortion and infanticide.
Tooley takes the position that there is no moral offense
in ending a human life up to about 3 months after birth
because earlier than that the infant has not yet become a person.
His exploration of personhood might be the most original part of the book.
If you would like to discover other attempts to define personhood,
search the Internet for this expression:
"Personhood Bibliography".

Really?
18 Dec 2008
Format:Hardcover
This man is the devil. Not only should we allow abortions, but kill any baby that doesn't meet a standard? Even at two years old? One can only imagine what Michael Tooley is thinking. Too bad his parents did not share the same views!
