Description

Product Description Child Versus Childmaker investigates a "person-affecting" approach to ethical choice. A form of consequentialism, this approach is intended to capture the idea that agents ought both do the most good that they can and respect each person as distinct from each other. Focusing on cases in which a conflict of interest arises between "childmakers"―parents, infertility specialists, embryologists, and others engaged in the task of bringing new people into existence―and the children they aim to create, the author considers what we today owe those who will come into existence tomorrow. Topics addressed include: what the person-affecting intuition is and how it differs from other forms of consequentialism; the consistency of the person-affecting intuition; the non-identity problem; wrongful life; and human cloning and other new reproductive technologies. This book is intended for upper-level undergraduates and graduate students in philosophy, law and economics and for anyone interested in bioethics, population policy, normative theory, children's rights, constitutional privacy, or family law. Review Roberts' commitment to a complete explanation of assorted moral arguments makes for thoughtful and complex reading. This book engages those who are searching for an in-depth approach to issues regarding the responsibilities of parents and the rights of children in the face of advancing reproductive technology.--The George Washington Law Review This is a fun book to read; sometimes maddening, sometimes puzzling, but fun. The comparing of cases, the application of principles, and the attention Roberts gives to some of the details hold one's attention.--Ethics: An International Journal of Social, Political, and Legal Philosophy About the Author Melinda A. Roberts has doctorates in both law and philosophy and is associate professor of philosophy at the College of New Jersey. She is the author of several articles on ethics and the law.
