Notes

  1. This example is a modified version of one presented by Christopher Kaczor [3, p. 21].

  2. Of course, for thinkers like Tooley, Minerva, and Giubilini (see [1, 2]), such a distinction does not matter, since for them moral status is not determined by individuation but by characteristics that are exhibited by the human organism long after individuation occurs.

  3. The report cites the work of Grobstein [6], as well as the scholarship of Norman M. Ford [7] and Richard A. McCormick [8], each of whom further develops Grobstein’s initial argument [5, p. 46n39].
