Virginia Held on defining "Human" and "Natural"

Uploaded by : Essays-Now.com

A 3 page essay on Virginia Held's position, which argues that "giving birth to human beings should not be thought to be any more 'essentially natural'...than is human death," but rather birth, like death, should be "understood to be central to whatever is thought to be distinctly human" (Held 112). The writer explains this statement, using Held's text, and then takes a position on the issues it raises. Bibliography lists 1 source.
