Document Summary
Mother is not doing something bad when she kills the child to save her own life. House belongs to her but also in the same house: musician experiment. Different than just two strangers like in the thought experiment. Mentally handicapped: marquis thinks that these two bounds are at a standstill and tries to come up with new criteria, immoral to take away from that thing a future of immense value. Preventing them from fulfilling their desire to live. Some people don"t want to live but it is still wrong to kill. People go into comas and die all the time without being murdered and it is still an interruption: throws this out. You are doing something wrong to that person. Taking away a future of tremendous value. If it is wrong to take this future away from an adult, then it must be wrong to kill a fetus because you are taking away their future.
