Taylor & Francis Online :: Sixteen Days - Journal of Medicine and Philosophy - Volume 28, Issue 1

Taylor & Francis Online :: Sixteen Days - Journal of Medicine and Philosophy - Volume 28, Issue 1: "When does a human being begin to exist? We argue that it is possible, through a combination of biological fact and philosophical analysis, to provide a definitive answer to this question. We lay down a set of conditions for being a human being, and we determine when, in the course of normal fetal development, these conditions are first satisfied. Issues dealt with along the way include: modes of substance-formation, twinning, the nature of the intra-uterine environment, and the nature of the relation between fetus and mother (connection, parthood, dependence)."
