Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
A timely and important work that will help resolve contradictions in current thinking about the unborn.
MoreLong description:
This book provides a framework for thinking clearly anbd coherently about the unborn. The book's thesis, the "interest view", states that all and only beings who have interests have moral standing, and only beings who possess conscious awareness have interests.
The chapters apply the interest view, and explore the moral and legal aspects of a wide range of issues. These centre on the inconsistency of the status of fetuses. Are they part of the pregnant woman, or are they persons? Women have been criminally charged with abusing their fetuses by using drugs during pregnancy, and yet abortion is legal. Readers will be able to resolve these contradictions in our current thinking about the unborn, and approach new issues in a clear and rational
manner.
I would recommend everyone to read this fascinating, lively and clearly written book." It is full of philosophical interest and addresses important and topical issues
Table of Contents:
The interest view; Abortion; Beyond abortion: The legal status of the fetus; Maternal-fetal conflict; Fetal research; Embryo research and the new reproductive technologies.
