Don Marquis, in Why Abortion is Immoral, champions an account of the wrongness of killing that he calls the future-like-ours account. Marquis considers two alternative accounts of the wrongness of killing that have different implications for the ethics of abortion the discontinuation account and the desire account. Explain the first problem that Marquis raises against the desire account. How does Tooley tentatively respond to a similar worry in Abortion and Infanticide?
