    Marqui's "Future Like Ours" Claim
    Hi,

    Can someone assist me with gathering points for an essay pertaining to Marqui's Future like ours claim.

    I know what his claim his, but he identifies the fetus as having a future like OURS... What does OURS represent, he then further continues to say it is analgous to a standard human adult but again what is a standard human adult. He fails to identify this in his argument.

    Thanks

    I have not studied this or anything but it would appear to me that "OURS" is pertaining to anyone who has experienced birth. THAT is the future that abortioned babies have had taken from them.

    "Standard human adult" could simply be an adult human. Judging by his argument, I wouldn't assume that he is referring to any type of adult human, other than the ones that were given the chance to make it that far in life.
