El aborto visión antropológica

Authors

  • Ramón Córdoba Palacio Author Universidad Pontificia Bolivariana

Abstract

The author analyzes abortion from its anthropological, me and legal perspectives, as based on the biological evidence that the human individual is a biologic continuum, with no interruption whatsoever from conception through death. Therefore, practicing abortion is making an attempt on the life of a human individual at a stage of the vital cycle during which the developing new being is more innocent and defenseless than ever.

 

Medicine does not include among her treatments the destruction of patients. Declaring unenforceable the article that penalizes abortion would be just like a proclamation by the State that it tolerates death voluntarily and consciously provoked of human beings in a state of total defenselessness, and that it frees those who perpetrate it from their human responsibility for this action.
