Intimate and medicalized, natural and technological, reproduction
poses some of the most challenging ethical dilemmas of our time.
Reproduction presses the boundaries of humanity and ethical
respect, the permissible limits of technology, conscientious
objection by health care professionals, and social justice. This
volume brings together scholars from multiple perspectives to
address both traditional and novel questions about the rights and
responsibilities of human reproducers, their caregivers, and the
societies in which they live. Among issues treated in the volume
are what it is to be a parent, the responsibilities of parents, and
the role of society in facilitating or discouraging parenting. May
gamete donors be anonymous? Is surrogacy in which a woman gestates
a child for others ethically permissible when efforts are made to
prevent coercion or exploitation? Should it be mandatory to screen
newborns for potentially serious conditions, or permissible to
sequence their genomes? Are both parties to a reproductive act
equally responsible to support the child, even if one deceived the
other? Are there ethical asymmetries between male and female
parents, and is the lack of available contraceptives for men
unjust? Should the costs of infertility treatment be socially
shared, as they are for other forms of health care? Do parents have
a duty to try to conceive children under the best circumstances
they can - or to avoid conception if the child will suffer? What is
the status of the fetus and what ethical limits constrain the use
of fetal tissue? Reproduction is a rapidly changing medical field,
with novel developments such as mitochondrial transfer or uterine
transplantation occurring regularly. And there are emerging natural
challenges, too, like the Zika virus. The volume gives readers
tools not only to address the problems we now know, but ones that
may emerge in the future as well.
