Abstract
- The article presents the author's views on a paper by M. Tooley on infanticide. According to the author, moral uncertainty perspective on the moral status of early human life is appropriate for adoption by liberal, democratic governments. The author states that from a secular perspective, one might doubt that much weight should be given to the theoretical possibility that embryos possess souls.
