title: [Analysis of attitudes about abortion].
abstract: Today two clear trends can be discerned in the development of attitudes about abortion over the last century or so. The first corresponds to that category of "bio-power" described by Foucault as a bio-politics of the population. The second trend, closely related, concerns the transformation of abortion from a largely criminal to a largely therapeutic procedure, that is, one which is said to be performed in the interests of preserving or enhancing the health and well-being of the woman or her existing children. This paper analysis the attitudes about abortion exploring the responses of the Medical Bioengineering Faculty's students to a series of questions about the conditions under which legal abortions should be available and tried to identify some of the reasons why abortion attitudes vary from person to person.
