Incarnate reason and the embryo: A response to dabrock

Abstract

"Incarnate reason" names, in Peter Dabrock's essay, both the task of utilizing natural reason in ethical and political discourse, and an answer to the ontological question about human persons, "What are we?" In this essay, I investigate the significance of this construal for questions about the metaphysical, moral, and political status of the human embryo. © The Author 2010.
