David Boonin has written the most thorough and detailed case for the moral permissibility of abortion yet published. Critically examining a wide range of arguments that attempt to prove that every human fetus has a right to life, he shows that each of these arguments fails on its own terms. He then explains how even if the fetus does have a right to life, abortion can still be shown to be morally permissible on the critique of abortion's own terms. Finally he considers several pro-life arguments that do not depend on claims that the fetus has a right to life and concludes that these too are ultimately unsuccessful. This major book will be especially helpful to those teaching applied ethics and bioethics in philosophy departments or professional schools of law and medicine. It will interest students of women studies and general readers for whom abortion remains a high-profile issue.

Pratique universellement répandue, l'avortement est légalisé en France, à l'instar de la majorité des pays occidentaux. Introduit de ce fait dans l'espace public, il demeure néanmoins confiné dans l'espace de l'officieux, par suite d'une sorte de pacte tacite, de mauvaise foi sociale. S'appuyant sur une centaine d'observations recueillies à l'hôpital et quarante entretiens approfondis avec des femmes ayant connu l'expérience de l'avortement, sur des données empruntées à l'histoire et à l'anthropologie, Luc Boltanski explique ce refoulement. L'avortement doit rester dans l'ombre car il révèle une contradiction au foyer du contrat social celle qui oppose le principe de l'unicité des êtres et le postulat de leur nature remplaçable, sans lequel nulle société ne se renouvellerait démographiquement. Luc Boltanski est alors conduit à poser la question de l'engendrement et analyser les contraintes essentiellement symboliques qui président à l'entrée des êtres humains dans la société. Des contraintes antinomiques que différents types d'arrangements sociaux tendent à estomper. Ce qui fait un être humain, ce n'est pas le fœtus, inscrit dans le corps, mais son adoption symbolique. Or, cette adoption suppose la possibilité d'une discrimination entre des embryons que rien ne distingue. Le caractère arbitraire de cette discrimination est au plan social, et parfois individuel, difficilement supportable. La contradiction, montre Luc Boltanski, est rendue vivable par une sorte de grammaire des catégories : au fœtus projet - adopté par les parents qui, grâce à la parole, accueillent l'être nouveau en lui donnant un nom - s'oppose le fœtus tumoral, embryon accidentel et qui ne sera pas l'objet d'un projet de vie. Grammaire, expérience mise en récit et perspective historique se nouent ici pour faire de l'avortement, rendu depuis des décennies politiquement légal, une expérience désormais socialement audible.

As part of the Readings in Bioethics series, this volume collects critical essays by leading scholars on reproductive technologies, abortion, in vitro fertilization, prenatal diagnosis, and cloning.Over a decade ago the field of bioethics was established in response to the increased control over the design of living organisms afforded by both medical genetics and biotechnology. Since its introduction, bioethics has become established as an academic discipline with journals and professional societies, is covered regularly in the media, and affects people everyday around the globe. In response to the increasing need for information about medical genetics and biotechnology as well as the ethical issues these fields raise, Sheed & Ward proudly presents the Readings in Bioethics Series. Edited by Thomas A. Shannon, the series provides anthologies of critical essays and reflections by leading ethicists in four pivotal areas: reproductive technologies, genetic technologies, death and dying, and health care policy. The goal of this series is twofold: first, to provide a set of readers on thematic topics for introductory or survey courses in bioethics or for courses with a particular theme or time limitation.Second, each of the readers in this series is designed to help students focus more thoroughly and effectively on specific topics that flesh out the ethical issues at the core of bioethics. The series is also highly accessible to general readers interested in bioethics. This volume collects critical essays by leading scholars on reproductive technologies, abortion, in vitro fertilization, prenatal diagnosis, and cloning. Included in this volume are David Adamson, James P. Toner, Thomas A. Shannon, Bonnie Steinbock, Laura A. Schieve, Richard J. Paulson, G. Pennings, Thomas H. Murray, Lori B. Andrews, J. M. Phillips.
