Note	Life before birth provides a coherent frame work for addressing bio ethical issues in which the moral status of embryos and fetuses is relevant. It is based on the^"interest view^" which ascribes moral standing to beings with interests, and connects the possession of interests with the capacity for conscious awareness or sentience.The theoretical framework is applied to ethical and legal topics, including abortion, prenatal torts, wrongful life,the crime of feticide, substance abuse by pregnant women,compulsory cesareans, assisted reproduction, and stem cell research. Along the way.
