PHIL 106 Lecture Notes - Lecture 11: Fetus
Document Summary
Thinks thomson"s view on liberal view is failed: doesn"t think liberals should undermine the personhood of the fetus= goes against their own arguments, thomson"s right to control one"s body". Maybe your body is like" your property= property right. No: thomson"s violinist situation only applies to rape . In order to go full liberal must imply fetus is not a person. Pro-choice arguments that fail if fetus is a person: fetus are human in genetic sense not moral sense, has human chromosomes but not personhood/moral.
