Question

How could you paraphrase or rewrite this one:

From a logical perspective. Thompson's argument about abortion are valid. Thompson's motivations seem more about sowing doubt than actually proving abortion is right or wrong from a moral perspective. The validity of his arguments rest with whichever side you were on to begin with. She compares a seed and a fetus which makes sense on the surface but there are key differences between the two as well. When the Oak emerges from the seed, they lack the autonomy of an adult which can nullify the argument. Just because the two share characteristics at the beginning does not determine if they deserve the same rights at the end. Thompson believes that abortion is morally permissible but not all abortion is permissible. Her example of a violinist being attached to you made me feel things I did not want feel. It is a strong perspective that opens the argument of life vs autonomy to a new level.

Answer 1

Thompson argues about the right of the pregnant women to abort the child.In here she says that a woman have a right to abort her child or to let the fetus to grow.

She gives examples explaining the situation by comparing the seed and a fetus. She explains by saying that the oak tree may be grown from a tree but it does not mean that the tree and seed have same rights.And she also explains by explaining another example such as if a violinist is attached to you and using your body to survive and if you unplug from himself he may die but it does not mean he have a right to use your body to live.It should be your decision.

Likewise it is the decision of the pregnant women and her alone decison to make.

Thompson argument obtained mixed agreements and the argument may wary by which side you are on.But Thompson says that abortion is valid.
