Ep 28 - A More Realistic Violinist Analogy | The Fiddler in the Womb
Manage episode 174652671 series 1043725
Hello everyone and welcome to the Fetal Position Podcast, episode 28. On today's episode, I am fleshing out the details of an analogy that [I think] is unique to me. I haven't heard anyone else make this analogy, so if you know someone that has... let me know and I'll promote his/her work. But if not, allow me to explain my response to Thomson's Violinist analogy, by using my own analogy.
I am calling it... "The Fiddler in the Womb" because it's catchy and kinda funny. But it is, more importantly, a more realistic violinist analogy than the analogy created by Judith Jarvis Thomson in her paper, "A Defense of Abortion". For what it's worth, I have already dissected this analogy and concluded that it does not justify abortion in almost any case. I did this during episode 9, and you can find that by going to TheFetalPosition.com/9.
