persons and the theory of moral status that it is compatible is
insufficient. Explanation is not supported by topic study
materials.

determine the moral status of the fetus is not adequately
explained. Rationale for choices made is not supported by
topic study materials or case study examples.

of their recommendations for action is insufficient.
Explanation is not supported by topic study materials.
Evaluation of which theory is personally preferable along with
how that theory would influence personal recommendations
for action is inadequate.

conclusion does not support the claim made. Argument is
incoherent and uses noncredible sources.
