This Episode of The Eighth delves into the field of ethics, or moral philosophy, to see how it can help clarify a lot of our gut instincts around the issue of abortion. Ciara speaks to world-renowned Professor of Bioethics in Princeton University, Peter Singer; Professor Maureen Junker-Kenny, Head of Religions and Theology in Trinity College Dublin; and Dr Helen Watt, Senior Research Fellow and former Director of the Anscombe Bioethics Centre, Oxford, UK.
