If a human fertilized egg/fetus had the same legal rights as a person, should employing a pregnant woman be illegal?

1 Answer

Answer :

answer:I think the people who would grant an embryo legal status would probably agree with you. They don’t like women, much less pregnant women, working. You can also say the embryo is entitled to complete medical coverage, including full maintenance of the “host” (the mother). I doubt that would fly with the people that would propose this. This is what happens when poor thinking tries to impose itself.
