Substance Ontology Cannot Determine the Moral Status of Embryos.
Assigning the appropriate moral status to different stages of human development is an urgent problem in bioethics. Many philosophers have attempted to assess developmental events using strict ontological principles to determine when a developing entity becomes essentially human. This approach is not...

Many philosophers have attempted to assess developmental events using strict ontological principles to determine when a developing entity becomes essentially human.
