Introduction to Bioethics
Reproductive Ethics is the branch of Bioethics that deals with ethical considerations surrounding reproduction. This includes issues related to:
One of the primary concerns of reproductive ethics is balancing the rights of the individual with the interests of society as a whole.
Fertility treatments can be costly and not always successful, which raises the question of whether society should be responsible for paying for these treatments.
Similarly, surrogacy raises concerns about the rights of the surrogate mother and the potential for exploitation.
Genetic selection raises questions about eugenics and the potential for discrimination against those with genetic disorders.
Finally, abortion is one of the most contentious issues in reproductive ethics, with questions about when life begins and who has the right to make decisions about a woman's body.
Reproductive ethics also raises questions about social justice and access to healthcare. For example, should healthcare be a right for all individuals, including access to fertility treatments and abortion? These questions are complex and often controversial, and require careful consideration of the ethical principles involved.
