When does a fetus become a person? An Israeli viewpoint (original) (raw)

This study investigates the perceptions of when a fetus acquires personhood in Israeli society, focusing on diverse sociocultural contexts, primarily among Jewish populations. It explores three core issues: the distinction between biological and personhood status, the incremental acquisition of personhood, and the gestational stages at which the fetus is considered a person. The findings highlight differences in attitudes towards personhood compared to other countries, illustrating how religiosity and cultural background shape these perspectives.
