Background of the of human life development and reflections on abortion

Abstract

This article reflects upon abortion with a little explored vision that covers all stages of the human being development. It analyzes the moral recognition of the human being, since it is based on decision-making processes in order to justify abortion. Following that, it tries to classify the reproduction in three different and well-defined procedures: pre-conception, pregnancy and maintenance. Due to is philosophical nature, it intends to demonstrate the reproduction as a processes that develops over time. Under this view, the moral recognition of the human being existence loses the importance attributed to it and justifies the completion of abortion in special cases. The article aims to describe the process of the human being creation and its logical analysis without, however, deepening in ethical discussions part of each stage.
