Overview
Can you help me understand this Philosophy question?
Define abortion. Define a person. Are there any circumstances under which abortion should be legal? Is abortion equivalent to killing? Now consider other living things. Is it acceptable to kill animals for our consumption (food, clothes, mounted heads, rugs, sport, etc.)? Is a human embryo (unborn human) worth more than an animal? Explain. And, finally, is personhood a status that only humans can have? Why? Remember, be courteous. We will return to the question of animals later.
