Is a Fetus a Person?
Unborn baby at 20 weeks
IN response to The Hard Truth - Part V, a Canadian journalist from a national newspaper responded with this question:
If I understand you correctly, you place a great deal of moral emphasis on the capacity of the fetus to feel pain. My question to you is, does this mean abortion is entirely permissible if the fetus is anesthetized? It seems to me that either way you answer, it’s the ethical "personhood" of the fetus that is truly relevant, and its ability to feel pain tells us little if anything about it.
