Hey! This surely got my attention at 7am, so I clicked and read the whole thing. Long before the Alabama issue, I took a class at Fuller called the Ethics of Life and Death, where my group and I presented on this very topic, basically, posing the question, regarding the personhood of embryos. We presented both sides of the argument. The purpose was to function as opposing Christian Ethicists to help a relevant audience make their decision about what to do with their frozen embryos. It was an enlightening experience. All this is to say, I’d loved to read your paper, “Autonomy Distinguishes Love from Control”. The title seems to support a thought I have about many things. So many issues that become political are so tricky. It’d be kind of cool to send a paper my friend wrote to my professor for her to assign as optional reading for future classes to add to the enrichment of learning. :) Where can I find it?
