A222 - Exploring Philosophy : End of Week 16

This looked like it was going to be an interesting and challenging week, with regard to discussing the legal and moral implications on abortion. However, the one aspect that I was most interested in  - when does a fetus become a person - was not discussed. Just the fact that a fetus had potential to become a person, but not the point when we should argue that it has.

The thought experiment on the violinist was not that gripping, and all in all, the chapter felt a bit thin.

Now I have 6 days to write the TMA about Bentham and Mill's hedonism, then it is on to book 4 - this course is flying by......
