AB - The personhood argument is considered as a good strategy for abortion. Although it has these advantages, criticism that it implies infanticide is also being raised at the same time. This criticism is fatal to an ethical theory. Here, I examined whether the argument of personhood necessarily implies infanticide or not. For this purpose, first, I distinguished the concept of ‘murder’ from that of ‘killing’, then explained that murder, not killing, has meaningful relevance to ethics. And considering the their responses to criticism that the personhood argument allows infanticide, I examined that its criticisms of implying infanticide could be overcome by their responses. Even if abortion is approved, it is confirmed that there is a way of opposing infanticide by examining the personhood argument.
