Section IV
of chapter 3 is taken up with a detailed analysis
of this ethical problem, and
of its parameters, and in
particular, a thorough biological analysis
of the
continuity / discontinuity question is presented: «whether to claim that [biological findings] teach us about an embryo's essential
continuity withand similarity to human beings at other stages
of life, or to argue that they reveal profound and morally meaningful discontinuities between embryos and live - born
persons.»
It's not about home care versus community care, but about trying to ensure
continuity of care for
people with complex or chronic conditions, for eg having them register with a
particular primary care service or surgery.
