Berg (2017 , Philosophical Studies 174:1217\u201326) argues that, given this, those who contend that personhood begins at conception (PAC) are obliged to reorient their resources accordingly\u2014towards stopping miscarriage, in preference to stopping abortion or diseases. This argument depends on there being a basic moral similarity between these deaths. I argue that, for those that hold to PAC, there are good reasons to think that there is no such similarity. There is a morally relevant difference between preventing killing and letting die, giving PAC supporters reasons to prioritize reducing abortion over reducing miscarriage. And the time-relative interest account provides a morally relevant difference in the badness of death of miscarriages and deaths of born adults, justifying attempts to combat major diseases over attempts to combat miscarriage. I consider recent developments in the literature and contend that these new arguments are unsuccessful in establishing moral similarities between deaths from miscarriage and abortion, and deaths from miscarriage and disease.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/jmp\/jhad012","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,4,20]],"date-time":"2023-04-20T17:23:50Z","timestamp":1682011430000},"page":"243-251","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Miscarriage,
