Abstract<\/span><\/p>\n

Is the mammalian embryo\/fetus a part of the organism that gestates it? According to the containment view, the fetus is not a part of, but merely contained within or surrounded by, the gestating organism. According to the parthood view, the fetus is a part of the gestating organism. This paper proceeds in two stages. First, I argue that the containment view is the received view; that it is generally assumed without good reason; and that it needs substantial support if it is to be taken seriously. Second, I argue that the parthood view derives considerable support from a range of biological and physiological considerations. I tentatively conclude in favour of the parthood view, and end by identifying some of the interesting questions it raises.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I don't have time now to study the above, but I will have to eventually, and then maybe write an evaluation.<\/span><\/p>\n
