Providing insight into the skills of argumentation, this book is exclusively from a philosophical perspective. Navigating the essential elements of the public abortion issue, the reader confronts the logical implications of various stances. The goal is to refine one’s own argument with the common intent to preserve human dignity. Only cooperative scrutiny can break down the public stalemate, offering respectful engagement in the political and religious arenas.
Rather than championing a position, the reader is guided away from the binary stances of choice or life, entering into the abortion dialogue as an original critical thinker. Free from ideological or dogmatic positions, the central argument is distilled from the premises that either some living humans are persons, or all living humans are persons, with moral value either assigned or recognized. Technology will continue to ethically impinge on the issues of bodily autonomy and biological life, but the notion of personhood and moral value alone will endure.
Bujno’s expertise in philosophical anthropology and medical ethics and bioethics, tethered to an applied background in logic and critical thinking, provides a unique opportunity to address the cultural issues of justice relative to abortion in a scholarly, nonpartisan tone. This book truly fills a niche!
