I’m going to read your posts. I gave you a little response in my blog (but –in that momen– I was no sure if that Joel was you); nevertheless, I will be waiting for your answer to the Thomson’s article. Best wishes!

While I’m doing that, you may want to read a post I have on another site dealing with the humanity of embryos and fetuses (Part A and Part B). The entire series deals with the intrinsic value of humanity (start from the bottom up).

Also, don’t worry about your English, it’s better than my Spanish so who am I to complain? :)

Nevertheless, I prefer to suggest a further reading befofe: the famous objection of Judith Thomson, “A defense of abortion” (1971). Can you read this paper and then give me your opinion?

I think that Thomson gave a strong argument against yours, so I want to know… what do you think about her position? By the way, I’m analyzing the abortion issue in my own blog: Sagrada Anarquía (Sacred Anarchy). The blog is in Spanish, but, if you want, you may use a translator and read my position in the case of Peruvian legislation. I argued that in a liberal democratic State we mustn’t make abortion illegal in some special cases. (Please, sorry if my English is as bad as I suppose…I’m a good reader, but a terrible writer, I guess).
