Let's keep metaphysics out of medical ethics: a critique of Poplawski and Gillett.

F J Leavitt1.   

Abstract

I argue that the concept of 'longitudinal form', which Poplawski and Gillett have introduced into ethical discussions about embryos and gametes, involves too many metaphysical subtleties to be a useful aid to making moral decisions. I conclude by suggesting a criterion for relevance in medical ethics.
