This is written by someone without a good grasp on grammar.<p>> get pregnant<p>become<p>> her child<p>this is used two times in one paragraph as though referring to one and the same entity, although the succeeding paragraph claims the opposite case as essential to the whole premises.<p>> The Nonidentity Problem<p>this linked to article suffers from the same lack of (grammatical) precision.<p>> an act that confers on a person an existence<p>What is that even supposed to mean?! Granted, that touches on the essential problem central to philosophy and takes a fast and loose short cut instead of getting into semantics, but to me that's the whole point of philosophy, so why skimp on it.<p>The whole argument should remain egoistic instead of digressing. The non-sequitur follows from the focus on non-existence. Ex nihilo nihil, ex falso quodlibet.
