Identify the Position Subscribing to the Following Argument and Point

question 9

Essay

Identify the position subscribing to the following argument and point out a main problem for it: there is no significant difference between a late human fetus and a newborn. Thus if the former doesn't have a right to life, neither does the latter. But, for the same reason, if the newborn doesn't have it, neither does the infant, or the toddler, or the child… or the mature adult. But since this is preposterous, a human organism has the right to life from conception.
