OverviewThis book rethinks procreative responsibility considering the continuous development of Assisted Reproductive Technologies. It presents a person-affecting moral argument, highlighting that the potential availability of future Assisted Reproductive Technologies brings out new procreative obligations. Traditionally, Assisted Reproductive Technologies are understood as practices aimed at extending the procreative freedom of prospective parents. However, some scholars argue that they also give rise to new moral constraints. This book builds on this viewpoint by presenting a person-affecting perspective on the impact of current and future Assisted Reproductive Technologies on procreative responsibility, with a specific focus on reproductive Genome Editing and ectogenesis. The author shows that this perspective is defensible both from a consequences-based person-affecting perspective and from a person-affecting account that considers morally relevant intuitions and attitudes. Procreative Responsibility and Assisted Reproductive Technologies will appeal to scholars and advanced students working in bioethics and procreative ethics.

Current and Future Assisted Reproductive Technologies and Prenatal Treatments 2. Responsibility, Procreation, and Reproduction 3. Procreative Beneficence, the Non-Identity Problem, and Impersonal Harm 4. Person-Affecting Morality and the Future of Human Reproduction 5. Is Genome Editing Really Non-Identity-Affecting? A Defense of the Greater Moral Obligation View 6. Responsibility, Genetic Enhancement, and the Child’s Right to an Open Future 7. Beyond Consequences? Attitudes and Intentions in Current and Future Assisted Reproduction ConclusionsReviews"""Procreative Responsibility and Assisted Reproductive Technologies examines the whole gamut of new technologies related to reproduction, including in vitro gametogenesis, artificial wombs, and genome editing. Surprisingly, and I think correctly, Battisti argues that some of these, such as genome editing and artificial wombs, will create new and more demanding obligations and responsibilities for parents. This is a tour de force in reproductive ethics: comprehensive, deep, carefully argued, balanced, and challenging. It is a must-read for those entering these debates and for old soldiers who will discover new perspectives.""
