Abstract

Some responses to analogies between abortion and infanticide appeal to Judith Jarvis Thomson's argument for the permissibility of abortion. I argue that these responses fail because a parallel argument can be constructed for the permissibility of infanticide. However, an argument on the grounds of a right to choose to become a parent can maintain that abortion is permissible but infanticide is not by recognizing the normative significance and nature of parenthood.

堕胎、杀婴和选择为人父母

对于堕胎与杀婴之间的类比，有些回应诉诸于 Judith Jarvis Thomson 关于堕胎可允许性的论证。我认为，这些回应是失败的，因为可以为杀婴的可允许性构建一个平行的论证。然而，基于选择为人父母的权利的论点可以通过承认为人父母的规范意义和性质，坚持认为堕胎是允许的，而杀婴是不允许的。
