22. Bioethicist Dena Davis contends that this apparent inconsistency is explained by the fact that deeper issues of cultural values, not regard for the embryo per se, are shaping our debates in this area. Thus IVF is seen as " pro-family" whereas embryo destruction in research is assimilated to more utilitarian concerns or aspects of the abortion debate. See her article entitled " The Puzzle of IVF," 6 (2006): 275-296.

26. Thus, R. B. Dworkin observes that the majority argument in recognizing a woman's unfettered right of access to abortion during the first trimester only makes sense on the basis of what he regards as the decision's unargued presumption that the fetus " is not a person entitled to constitutional protection." See his (Bloomington: Indiana University Press, 1996): at 48f.
