Their conversations over five days - friendly but lively, charitable but clear - are captured in this book. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThrough these dialogues, students and other interested readers are introduced to the difficult moral issues of abortion. In Chapter 1, readers learn about \u003ci\u003eRoe v. Wade\u003c\/i\u003e and other relevant legal cases. Chapter 2 covers basic, philosophical issues such as: What is a person? Are fetuses persons? Is fetal potential morally relevant? How shall we define the moral community? Chapter 3 introduces students to Don Marquis's \"Why Abortion is Immoral\" and also the metaphysical issues of personal identity and its relevance to abortion. Chapter 4 covers Judith Jarvis Thomson's \"A Defense of Abortion\", including objections and responses to the argument from bodily autonomy. Finally, Chapter 5 looks at abortion in hard cases, such as in cases of rape, fetal disability, non-viable pregnancies, and sex-selection; the chapter also includes a conversation on fathers and abortion. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith a Foreword by Laurie Shrage, topics headings in the margins, and an annotated bibliography, \u003ci\u003eDialogues on the Ethics of Abortion\u003c\/i\u003e is an easy-to-use volume and valuable resource for anyone interested in a fair and clear-headed approach to one of the most contentious moral issues of our time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBertha Alvarez Manninen\u003c\/strong\u003e is Professor of Philosophy at Arizona State University, West Campus.
