Description
Discussion of assisted reproduction revolution and what is now genetically possible: including children free from genetic disorder, saviour siblings and sex selection -- 'designer babies'. Professor McLean argues for a libertarian approach to reproductive liberty in the 21 Century: intending parents should have the right to make decisions at the pre-implantation stage about the kinds of children they want to have. She considers both the legal context in which such decisions are made and the ethical dilemmas of those involved.
