Opinion Bioethics Research Notes 17(1): March 2005 Are Some People nuts ? refuting an inappropriate Argument from Analogy By Zac Alstin In her famous paper A Defense of Abortion Judith Thomson presented the following brief argument against the claim that an embryo is a human being from conception. For the purposes of this paper, I will use the term embryo rather than Thomson s preferred fetus or the technically incorrect fertilized ovum .
