Abstract

It has been argued that the possibility of monozygotic twinning disproves the conservative position on foetal personhood that defines the foetus as a person from conception. This article will canvass arguments for and against this proposition, in order to arrive at a conclusion as to the relative strength of this finding.

摘要

有人认为，同卵双胞胎的可能性反驳了关于胎儿人格的保守立场，该立场将胎儿从受孕时起就定义为一个人。本文将探讨支持和反对这一命题的论据，以便就这一发现的相对说服力得出结论。
