Birth’s transformative shift: a response to Waleszczyński

Waleszczyński critiques my argument for why the relationship between a pregnant person and any fetus they carry is not a relationship between a parent and a child. I argue Waleszczyński does not show that my 'argument from potentiality' is inadequate, and I provide further justification for why birth marks a transformative shift into a moral relationship.

Abstract

Waleszczyński critiques my argument for why the relationship between a pregnant person and any fetus they carry is not a relationship between a parent and a child. I argue Waleszczyński does not show that my 'argument from potentiality' is inadequate, and I provide further justification for why birth marks a transformative shift into a moral relationship.
