Birth's transformative shift: a response to Waleszczynski.

ABSTRACT

Waleszczynski critiques my argument for why the relationship between a pregnant person and any fetus they carry is not a relationship between a parent and a child. I argue Waleszczynski does not show that my 'argument from potentiality' is inadequate, and I provide further justification for why birth marks a transformative shift into a moral relationship.
