Cloning, genetic screening, embryo freezing, in vitro fertilization, Norplant, RU486--these are the technologies revolutionizing our reproductive landscape. Through the lens of procreative liberty--meaning both the freedom to decide whether or not to have children as well as the freedom to control one's reproductive capacity--John Robertson, a leading legal bioethicist, analyzes the ethical, legal, and social controversies surrounding each major technology and opens up a multitude of fascinating questions: Do frozen embryos have the right to be born? Should parents be allowed to select offspring traits? May a government force welfare recipients to take contraceptives? Robertson's arguments examine the broad range of consequences of each reproductive technology and offers a timely, multifaceted analysis of the competing interests at stake for patients, couples, doctors, policymakers, lawyers, and ethicists.

This book raises questions about the legacy of eugenics in contemporary state of reproductive health law - linking the past to recent developments in population control. It presents a comprehensive etiological classification of mental illnesses stratified for the genotype (autosomal-dominant, autosomal-recessive, x-linked and y-linked transmissions; triplet repeat disorders, exon and intron mutations), behavioral phenotype, post-traumatic reactions, spatial orientations, histone disorders, and acquired comorbidity. Based on the advanced directives, seminal precedents, statutory codes and constitutional articles on "personhood" and reproductive choices, it augments a platform for further systematic analysis of holdings on procreative liberty. As such, the nature, corresponding laws, dispositions, certiori, or obiter dicta of the holdings at the Appellate, Supreme or Circuit Courts are randomly identified through WestLaw or LexisNexis(TM) using multiple keywords or Shepard's symbols, and are combined to produce pooled odds ratio according to the Mantel–Haenszel method. A variety of demographic, societal, clinical, and behavioral determinants (age, gender, ethnicity, income, the degree of mental retardation, criminal history, existing property disputes) are modeled as process variables to explain the cause–outcome relationships. Dispositions are used as units of calculations and as linear functions exposed to the claims.Of the total 52 adjudications reviewed, 40 (76.9%) concern to the mentally incompetent individuals (minors or sui juris adults) and 12 (23.1%) healthy inmates of the states prisons, employees of hazardous industries, and ethnic minorities. Of the 40 individuals defined as mentally incompetent, 87.5% suffer various degrees of congenital cognitive deficits, and 12.5% have acquired mental illness after the brain damage either in a car accident or intrapartum - during the traumatic birth. The mean age is 20.78 years in females, and 30.25 years in males. A substantial portion of the holding (46.3%) concerns to the minors at the mean age of 12.9 years (matters of Relf v. Weinberger, M.K.R, AL v. GRH, DD, S.C.E, Nilsson, Marcia R., Ruby v. Massey, Hayes, Cook v. State, Penny N., Hudson v. Hudson, Avery v. County of Burke, Wentzel v. Montgomery General Hospital, and AW). California is the leading state for the number of adjudications on procreative liberty matters, followed by Alabama, Indiana, North Carolina, and New York. Parens patriae (state, parental) petitions for the tubal ligation or hysterectomy are denied in 33 cases (68.8%) pursuant to the Due Process clause of the 14th Amendment (24.2%), statutory codes or articles (63.6%), and preceding case law (87.8%). Petitions for sterilizing females are granted in 15 cases (31.2%) under the statutory penal codes and case laws, and concern to the persons with congenital mental retardation (average I.Q. 62.5, range 50-72). Only 13.3% of these petitions are submitted by the state authorities. All vasectomy petitions are denied and reasoned under the 5th and 14th Amendments, state-constitutional jurisprudence, state penal codes, and precedents. The case law is instructive with respect to which arguments had not been advanced. Poisson regression reveals substantial correlations between the female gender, the degree of the mental impairment, and the court orders to approve petitions for permanent sterilization (r2 = 0.724, and r2 = 802, correspondingly). No significant associations are found between the age of the subjects and the court orders (r2 = 0. 356). A century-cut analysis indicates the 1973-1983 as the hottest decade for the legal disputes on procreation in the United States. The contributing events and policies are discussed.

In this volume, two authors debate the ethics of procreation. One argues for the anti-natalist view that procreation is never morally permissible. In support of that conclusion he advances a number of arguments. In the second half of the book, the second author identifies a variety of moderate pro-natalist positions, which all see procreation as sometimes permissible but never required.

Issues in reproductive ethics, such as the capacity of parents to ‘choose children’, present challenges to philosophical ideas of freedom, responsibility and harm. This book responds to these challenges by proposing a new framework for thinking about the ethics of reproduction that emphasizes the ways that social norms affect decisions about who is born. The book provides clear and thorough discussions of some of the dominant problems in reproductive ethics - human enhancement and the notion of the normal, reproductive liberty and procreative beneficence, the principle of harm and discrimination against disability - while also proposing new ways of addressing these. The author draws upon the work of Michel Foucault, especially his discussions of biopolitics and norms, and later work on ethics, alongside feminist theorists of embodiment to argue for a new bioethics that is responsive to social norms, human vulnerability and the relational context of freedom and responsibility. This is done through compelling discussions of new technologies and practices, including the debate on liberal eugenics and human enhancement, the deliberate selection of disabilities, PGD and obstetric ultrasound.

This book offers a comprehensive roadmap for determining when and how to regulate risky reproductive technologies on behalf of future children. First, it provides three benchmarks for determining whether a reproductive practice is harmful to the children it produces. This framework synthesizes and extends past efforts to make sense of our intuitive, but paradoxical, belief that reproductive choices can be both life-giving and harmful. Next, it recommends a process for reconciling the interests of future children with the reproductive liberty of prospective parents. The author rejects a blanket preference for either parental autonomy or child welfare and proposes instead a case-by-case inquiry that takes into account the nature and magnitude of the proposed restrictions on procreative liberty, the risk of harm to future children, and the context in which the issue arises. Finally, he applies this framework to four past and future medical treatments with above average risk, including cloning and genetic engineering. Drawing lessons from these case studies, Peters criticizes the current lack of regulatory oversight and recommends both more extensive pre-market testing and closer post-market monitoring of new reproductive technologies. His moderate, pragmatic approach will be widely appreciated.

In Ethics and Human Reproduction, Christine Overall blends feminist theory and philosophical expertise to provide a coherent analysis of a range of moral questions and social policy issues pertaining to human reproduction and the new reproductive technologies. Topics covered include: sex preselection, artificial insemination, prenatal diagnosis, abortion, in vitro fertilisation and embryo transfer, surrogate motherhood, and childbirth. Throughout the book, the author examines the values and assumptions underlying common perceptions of sexuality and fertility, the status of the foetus, the value of children, the nature of parenting, and the roles of women. In so doing, she develops a feminist approach to answering questions about reproductive rights and freedoms, the value of a genetic link between mother and their offspring, the commodification of reproduction, and the effects of reproductive technologies on women and children. This book should be essential reading for anyone interested in the new reproductive technologies, biomedical ethics, and women’s health.

The essays next look at abortion from a variety of angles. One contends that killing fetuses is not murder; others emphasize the moral importance of access to abortion. Purdy considers the conflicting interests of women and men regarding abortion, and argues against requiring a husband's consent. The book concludes with a consideration of new reproductive technologies and arrangements, including the controversial issue of surrogacy, or contract pregnancy. Throughout, Purdy combines traditional utilitarianism with some of the most powerful insights of contemporary feminist ethics. Her provocative essays create guidelines for approaching new topics and inspire fresh thinking about old ones.
