Can One Be Two?: A Synopsis of the Twinning and Personhood Debate
Monash Bioethics Review 31 (2):37-59 (2013)
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.My notes
