DUE TOMORROW

1. How does Steinbock show that most abortions are not wrong? Be sure to explain both the Interest View and her point concerning biographical life.

2. What connections does Hursthouse draw between good human lives and a decision about abortion?

Explanation:

she argues that abortions are morally acceptable because fetuses are not sentient and therefore lack interests and moral status. She also takes to task Don Marquis’ argument on abortion. Marquis argued that most abortions are immoral because they deprive the fetus of a future.

Virtue theorists focus on the biological facts in the situation, the feelings, and thoughts that may accompany the situation. Hursthouse implies that abortion can be considered morally right or wrong, depending on the situations. He affirms that feelings of remorse and guilt should accompany abortion even if it is considered morally right. On the other hand, there was no trauma found after abortion, "abortion was positively associated with higher self-esteem, particularly feelings of self-worth, capableness, and not feeling one is a failure".
