Abstract: (1086 Views)
Human life is self-founded and should not be reduced to a right. Supporting human life in various dimensions is the goal of rights. Since the human embryo has a human nature -which is also accepted by the supporters of the theory of personhood- and has life, only this life must be supported, and the embryo has a chance to survive. What is the fact that the relationship between parents and fetus-child is not a proprietary bond? Being a person is not an inherent characteristic in the definition of human nature, and the support of the existence of a human being should not be reduced to his being a person. Protection of human life is the basis of the criminalization of murder, and abstract characteristics such as personhood do not play a role in the inclusion of this crime.
