Document Summary
We normal adults human beings have the right to life. We have continuity relationship with fetuses from which we developed. Typical fetuses have the right to life from conception. If there is continuous rate of development between a and b, then a and b have the same properties. There is a continuous rate of development between us and fetuses from which we developed. Fetuses from which we developed have the right to life. Categorical property all or nothing; (cid:272)a(cid:374)"t just ha(cid:448)e a little. If continuous rate of development between a and b, then we have same categorical properties. ^this would result in there being too many things with a right to life. So if p1 is true then sperm and egg have the right to life as well according to boonin. Sperm and egg do not have right to life therefore p1 is not true. Trying to get from conception is the only radically discontinuous event with our developmental history.
