Reproductive Embryo Editing
The use of embryonic genome editing tools is often touted as a way to ensure the birth of healthy and genetically related children. Many would agree that this is a worthy goal. Yet the purpose of this article is to argue that, if we are concerned with justice, accepting such a goal as morally appropriate commits one to rejecting the use of social resources for further development of embryo editing for reproductive purposes. This is so because the…
To Assess Technologies, Bioethicists Must Take Off Their Blinkers
Assessing the safety of biomedical technologies is an essential aspect of any sound ethical assessment. It is, however, not sufficient. Technologies do significantly more than what they are designed to accomplish. Bioethicists should pay more attention to the many ways in which technologies transform our world and ourselves
Reprogenetic Technologies and the Valuing of the Biogenetic Family
Reprogenetic technologies, which combine the power of reproductive technologies with the tools of genetic science and technology, give prospective parents a remarkable degree of control over a variety of their offspring’s characteristics. Not uncommonly, proponents of these technologies treat them as mere value‐neutral tools, limiting their assessments to risk and benefit considerations narrowly conceptualized. However, such assessments are ethic…
Rethinking Human Embryo Research Policies
It now seems technically feasible to culture human embryos beyond the “fourteen‐day limit,” which has the potential to increase scientific understanding of human development and perhaps improve infertility treatments. The fourteen‐day limit was adopted as a compromise but subsequently has been considered an ethical line. Does it remain relevant in light of technological advances permitting embryo maturation beyond it? Should it be changed and, if…
The Ethics of Anonymous Gamete Donation
The vast majority of gamete donations worldwide are made anonymously, and in some countries, including Spain, France, and Denmark, the anonymity of donors is explicitly protected by law. Nonetheless, a growing number of countries have called into question the morality of such practices and are enacting laws allowing children access to identifying information about their gamete donor. A significant reason for the growing legislative support for no…
