The Bad Habit Of Bearing Children, H Theixos
The Bad Habit Of Bearing Children, H Theixos
H Theixos
Procreation – the act of having and raising biological children – is generally not a life choice that is subject to moral scrutiny. In this paper the authors argue that decisions to procreate are morally evaluable, and that such evaluation reveals that prospective parents have a defeasible obligation to prioritize adoption over procreation.
