In philosophy and bioethics, potential (future) person (in plural, sometimes termed potential people) has been defined as an entity which is not currently a person but which is capable of developing into a person, given certain biologically and/or technically possible conditions.[1] The term unconceived has also been used in a similar sense, but does not necessarily include the capability of being conceived or developing into a person.
