- Title
Ectogestation and the Good Samaritan Argument.
- Authors
Stratman, Christopher
- Abstract
Philosophical discussions concerning ectogestation are trending. And given that the Supreme Court of the United States overturned Roe v. Wade (1973) and Casey v. Planned Parenthood (1992), questions regarding the moral and legal status of abortion in light of the advent of ectogestation will likely continue to be of central importance in the coming years. If ectogestation can intersect with or even determine abortion policy in the future, then a new philosophical analysis of the legal status of abortion is both warranted and urgently needed. I argue that, even if there is no 'moral' right to fetal destruction once ectogestation becomes a reality, societies ought not to implement legal prohibitions on a pregnant person's ability to safely obtain an abortion that results in fetal death because such laws are systemically misogynistic.
