This book takes the contentious issue of designer babies and argues
against the liberal eugenic current of bioethics that commends the
logic and choice regimes of selective reproduction. Against
conceptions of Procreative Beneficence that trade on a disregard
for the gifts of maternal bodies, it seeks to recover a thought of
maternal giving and a more hospitable ethic of generational
beneficence. Exploring themes of responsibility, gift and natality,
the book refigures the experience of reproduction as the site of an
ethical response to future generations, where refusal to choose
one's children is one virtuous response. The book will appeal to
anyone with an interest in reproductive ethics, feminist thought
and those seeking principled grounds for resisting the technologies
of choosing children.
