Warren argues against the fact that a fetus is a human being in the moral sense. She states that we can say that a fetus has the moral sense of being human, but not in the genetic sense. For a fetus to be human in the moral sense, it must be a being in the genetic sense. Warren believes that a fetus does not have full moral status because it is not a person. To be a person, you must have equal moral rights. Warren believes that at no stage will a fetus resemble a person and have a meaningful right to life. A fetus does not have the capacity to make decisions or have memories, therefore giving it no right to life. Warren states that a fetus is not a person and should not have moral rights. Warren stated in Potential Personhood and The Right to Life that a fetus is in no way like a person. She wonders about the potential that could develop if the fetus had the chance to become a person. “It is difficult to deny that the fact that an entity is a potential person constitutes prima facie a strong reason not to destroy it; but we need not conclude from this that a potential person has a right to life, in virtue of that potential” (Warren, p. 472). After analyzing the concept of person, Warren came to the conclusion that a fetus, regardless of its stage of development, does not resemble a person enough to have the right to life or the potential to be a child.
