Compare And Contrast Tomson And Marquis On Abortion
Abortion
In both of Marquis and Tomson’s point of view on abortion, I felt it very interesting on how both of them felt about abortion. We saw, that Marquis was arguing why he thought that abortion is morally wrong. Whereas, Tomson’s view about abortion, was why abortion is morally acceptable. On Tomson’s view of why he thinks that abortion is morally acceptable, is he gave a couple of views good examples on his point of view on having why abortion is acceptable and how is view can save the mother’s life, despite that it is morally wrong to kill an innocent child. Then, we also saw some good examples of why Marquis’ examples such as the loss of future of a fetus.
One of Tomson’s view on abortion that I never thought about was, if the baby
could be a threat to the mother’s health. He also mentions that “many people won’t make an exception for a case . . . is where the pregnancy is likely to shorten in the mother’s life.” For example, Tomson gave an example of a situation of a women becomes pregnant and also finds out that she will have a cardiac condition if she continues to carry the baby inside of her, which soon it may lead her to her death. He continues to explain that the only suggestion he mentions was that abortion can’t be a serious thought to be a murder if the mother performs an abortion on herself to save her life.
On the other hand, we got Marquis argument for why abortion is morally wrong. Marquis had a very strong view on why abortion is seriously immoral. He provided some good examples and mainly his ultimate goal was to persuade the reader on how abortion is immoral. Marquis mentions the loss of future. This really expresses his argument towards why he thinks abortion is immoral. He states that if the fetus is being killed, “the less of the future to a standard adult human being who is killed, is like any ordinary killing.”
One of my point of view, I am personally against abortion.
