Which is NOT a reason of the authors that a woman may not ethically destroy a zygote that exists in her as a result of her being raped?
{ 1 } - There is no proportion between the fetus' right to life and her right to be free of the injury done to her, overwhelming as this is.
{ 2 } - The zygote may be female and thus entitled to choose her own life or death.
{ 3 } - A woman does not restore her personal dignity and integrity by destroying the life of another person who is biologically her own child.
{ 4 } - Although she has the right to protect herself from the effects of aggression, she does not have the right to do so at the expense of the life of a fetus who is in no way an aggressor.
{ 5 } - The zygote is probably a human being and therefore a human person.
