Mary Anne Warren, a philosopher at San Francisco State University, “Can the Fetus Be an Organ Farm?” Hastings Center Report, October 1978, pages 23 – 25
“fetuses, especially those as old as five or six months, elicit our sympathy, and tempt us to endow them with moral rights, not only because they are potential people, but because they look disconcertingly like people; their physical features are recognizably human. This sympathy is misplaced… A proper respect for the right to life requires that it not be respected where does not exist.”
In this article, Warren promoted the idea of using aborted baby’s organs for research on transplantation.
