The Ethics of Choosing Children

Mehr zum Buch

Challenging the prevailing views on designer babies, this book critiques the liberal eugenics in bioethics that promotes selective reproduction. It emphasizes the importance of maternal gifts and advocates for a more compassionate ethic of generational beneficence. By exploring themes of responsibility, gift, and natality, it redefines reproduction as a moral response to future generations, suggesting that choosing not to select children can be a virtuous stance. This work will resonate with those interested in reproductive ethics, feminist perspectives, and resisting child-selection technologies.
