    Reason for

      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.None of the relations relevant to personal identity are present between a fetus and anything else, because a fetus lacks a psychology with memories, beliefs, desires, intentions, and general character capable of establishing a plausible connection to a future experiencer
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
