- catalog abstract "Child versus Childmaker investigates a "person-affecting" approach to ethical choice. A form of consequentialism, this approach is intended to capture the idea that agents ought to both do the most good that they can and respect each person as distinct from others. Focusing on cases in which a conflict of interest arises between "childmakers"--Parents, obstetricians, infertility specialists, embryologists, and others engaged in the task of bringing new people into existence - and the children they aim to create, the author considers what we today owe those who will come into existence tomorrow. This book is intended for anyone interested in family law, children's rights, medical law, bioethics, normative theory, negligence theory, constitutional privacy, or population policy.".
