- Peter Singer, a renowned utilitarian, argues that abortion is morally permissible, challenging traditional conservative arguments. We'll break down his reasoning, which hinges on the concepts of happiness, suffering, and personal identity.
On the other hand, Immanuel Kant's categorical imperative presents a different perspective. If every woman universally performed abortions, what would the world look like? Kantian ethics explores whether such an action could be universally applied without contradiction.
