Abstract
In this paper, some of the scientific arguments about the beginning of our life (the first two weeks) are related to the philosophical problems associated with them, from the perspective of personhood and personal identity theories.
Prenatal development, following scientific investigations, raises a number of philosophical and moral questions about the legitimacy of the interruption of the cycle of life in the initial stage, aspects that we examine in this article.
People’s attitudes and actions towards product of conception and prenatal development (i.e. towards the unborn children or the unborn people) can be influenced by the correct answers and questions of scientists. We propose a new framework for questioning this issue.
