Description
This academic paper critically examines Peter Singer’s utilitarian perspective on abortion from an African (Igbo) jurisprudential standpoint.
The study explores the Igbo understanding of personhood, morality, and communal ethics through three major sources of Igbo law and philosophy:
- Mmuo na Mmadu (Hierarchy of Beings and Personhood)
- Odinala na Omenala (Customs and Traditions)
- Ako na Uche (Conscience and Reason)
The paper argues that Singer’s conception of personhood is reductionist and inadequate for inclusive bioethical reasoning. It further presents an African philosophical contribution to global bioethical debates traditionally dominated by Western perspectives.
