Living in America, we need to be constantly “on the go,” glued to technology and concerned about the future. We worry about what's in it, what aspects we can't control, and how the choices we make or don't make might affect it. According to Donald Marquis in his article "Why Abortion is Immoral", he claims that killing a fetus is wrong because it deprives it of a "FLO", or a future like ours. Stealing that from someone is the worst form of loss one person can inflict on another, and it is determined that killing is "on its face evil." However, Marquis assumes that the future is the same and generalizes that fetuses in the United States have a certain type of future and assumes that this future applies to all. The future of fetuses may not be like ours, but it is very different and has values ​​specific to each individual. Abortion is on its face wrong, but it is incorrect. It is also a sufficient condition to show that abortion is “gravely morally wrong” in most cases, because the futures are values ​​specific to the individual. Marquis' overall argument is that abortion is seriously morally wrong because it involves murder. this is wrong because it deprives a human of a natural property, which is a “future like ours”, or a FLO. This “deprives him of all the experiences, activities, projects, and pleasures that would otherwise have constituted his future.” Killing someone is wrong because it inflicts great loss on the victim. He states that describing this as a loss of life can be misleading because a change in a biological state does not make killing bad, it is the effect of killing, which makes one lose. all the experiences that would otherwise have been possible. Activities are valuable and are the way to something else, like a potential life, which would... middle of paper ... while that would be great, the best we can do is draw conclusions to a small group of people and our judgments should be viewed with caution. The argument against abortion using the concept of a future like ours may be a necessary condition for abortion, but it is. this is not a sufficient condition for making a decision. This is especially seen when Marquis assumes that futures are the same and generalizes that fetuses in the United States have a certain type of future and assumes that this future is universal. These assumptions include that all futures are good and worth living. , in addition to being only a type of future. The future of fetuses may not be like ours, but it is very different and has values ​​specific to each individual. Works Cited Barnes, Jonathan. The ontological argument. London: Macmillan;, 1972.
