Introduction: Conceptualising and Configuring the Unborn Human 

FIRST PARAGRAPH(more)

Unborn human organisms – embryos and foetuses -- receive an unprecedented level of prominence in the contemporary era. There have long been debates about the moral status of the unborn and their claims to personhood and to be treated as full human subjects, particularly in relation to religious philosophy, bioethics and abortion politics. Over the past half-century, however, these debates have become more diversified, intense and complex in response to a number of social, technological and economic changes. More so than at any other time in human history, embryos and foetuses are represented in public forums as beautiful, precious, vulnerable creatures that require the utmost levels of protection. They are commonly represented as already fully human, indeed as already infants, and deserving of the rights and privileges accorded the infant.
