Marquis’ theory of potentiality holds more ethical ground than Warren’s theory on personhood. The two theorists; citing reasons, argue for and against abortion. For instance, the philosopher, Anne Warren argues in support of abortion. In her theory of personhood, she maintains that abortion is morally acceptable since the fetus is not a human being. According to her, an entity is considered to be a person if they have the ability to feel pain, reasoning capacity, communication ability, the ability to be self-motivated as well as the possession of self-awareness and self-concepts.
