The paper stresses that the discussion about abortion is a product of the western culture. It is the respect of right in the western culture results in the respect of the right of an embryo and of mother. The paper displays the point of the two sides. Moreover, the paper attempts to provide a justification for abortion. The justification is based on the two standpoints: the interest of a born person must take precedence over the one of unborn person. A person is an aim not tool. At last, the paper also discusses some plights that the justification may produce. For example, obligation may be ignored when freedom is overemphasized. It may be an eternal plight that life must face. In this sense, any argument of ethics must be feeble. People sometimes have to appeal to some absolute moral demands.
