Ebook: Beating Hearts: Abortion and Animal Rights

By probing the connections between debates about abortion and animal rights, Beating Hearts uses each highly contested set of questions to shed light on the other. The authors maintain that sentience, or the ability to have subjective experiences, grounds a being's entitlement to moral concern. These ethical explorations lead to a wider discussion of the strategies deployed by the anti-abortion and animal-rights movements.

A sophisticated effort to reconcile the supposed conflict between animal rights and abortion rights.
