Warren's argument implies that moral rights, including the right to life, are contingent upon personhood. If nonpersons lack the moral rights that persons possess, and if newborn infants are considered nonpersons under this framework, then it follows that newborn infants lack the right to life. This inference is based on the premise that moral rights are tied to the status of being a person.
