註釋

A ground-breaking book, first published in Sicily in 1745. Francesco Cangiamila, Catholic priest, pulled together the latest thought in medical science and theology demonstrated that the unborn are animated in the first days after conception. As a result, he argued that all abortions are homicides, that all miscarried children should be baptized, and, most controversially, that post-mortem caesarean sections should be perfomed on dead pregnant women in order to baptize unborn children at risk of being eternally lost. Although these ideas were scattered in the writings of various scholars, both Catholic and Protestant in the 18th century, he was the first to bring them together in a single book dedicated to promoting the concept of fetal personhood from conception. This book is a must for anyone interested in learning the history of pro-life philosophy.
