Despite what most of these reviewers have written, the author's argument is fairly sound. He is not defining his own set of ethics. If you do not understand the principles of ethical reasoning, do not read this. Apparently you'll find it frustrating.

Article examining an argument against abortion in extreme detail. The writing is somewhat unclear or overcomplicated in parts, but long articles like these that really make you think are why I love SU.

From the page: "Nor is there any rationally compelling basis why they should be, or why they can legitimately be imposed upon society as a whole." Reading this was a chore. Deciding ethically what's a person and what isn't has little to do with why abortion is performed. This maybe is something to discuss with someone who thinks fertilized, but unimplanted eggs are persons... but boy was it philosophically difficult to get through. Embryonic stem cells might be an obsolete concept in years to come, if research finds adult stems cells just as useful. Abortion will always be the target of these discussions in politics. In the end, abortion will be part of life, legal or illegal. The method is the only thing that will change. Do we want it safe for the adult (clarification: adult = a female who has gone beyond puberty and might become pregnant) woman, or make her suffer and perhaps die, and even throw her in jail afterwards, if she lives and isn't harmed by the ancient and ubiquitous home abortion methods?

same old song and dance but in reality, a newborn kitten has a higher mental capacity than a newborn baby. however, let everyone decide for themselves. it doesnt matter because south korea is already making scientific progress. what about all the potential people you could stop from dying? in the end, i love Kitty.

Just another bloke pushing his views on the female of the species (for the record I'm male!). My advice to the author is go and find something useful to do with your life!
