In The Foetal Condition: A Sociology of Engendering and Abortion, Luc Boltanski delves into the complex social terrain surrounding abortion - a subject that, despite its considerable public visibility following legalization, remains enshrouded in silence and cultural ambiguity. Drawing on meticulous research that includes reports from hospital settings and in-depth interviews with women who have experienced abortion, Boltanski examines how this practice exposes a fundamental contradiction in the social contract: the cherished uniqueness of individuals clashes with the necessity of their replaceability for societal renewal. Central to Boltanski’s inquiry is the idea that what defines the entry of a human being into society is not merely the biological presence of a foetus but the process by which it is symbolically embraced through language. He contrasts the ‘project’ foetus, actively nurtured by its parents through a deliberate act of naming and welcome, with a ‘tumoral’ foetus, an incidental entity detached from a life-forming project. By intertwining grammatical analysis, personal narratives, and historical perspectives, this study offers a fresh and critical examination of a practice that is both widespread and profoundly misunderstood.
