Should People With Inheritable Disabilities be Allowed To Reproduce?
FDCTS001 - Critical Thinking Skills
9 Pages • Essays / Projects • Year Uploaded: 2023
The question of whether individuals with serious inheritable diseases should be allowed to reproduce is a highly controversial and ethically complex issue. While some argue that such individuals should have the right to reproduce freely, others contend that the potential harm to their offspring and future generations is too great to ignore. On the one hand, proponents of reproductive freedom argue that everyone has the right to make their own choices about parenthood. They argue that preventing people with inheritable diseases from having children would be a violation of their basic human rights. Additionally, they point out that genetic testing and counseling can help individuals make informed decisions about the risks of passing on their condition. On the other hand, opponents of allowing people with inheritable diseases to reproduce argue that the potential harm to their offspring and future generations is too great. They argue that children born with serious inheritable diseases often suffer greatly, both physically and emotionally, and that this suffering could be prevented by not allowing their parents to have children. Moreover, they suggest that allowing people with inheritable diseases to reproduce perpetuates the spread of genetic disorders, which could have a devastating impact on society as a whole. In conclusion, the question of whether individuals with serious inheritable diseases should be allowed to reproduce is a complex and divisive issue. While the right to reproductive freedom is important, it must be balanced against the potential harm to future generations. Ultimately, any decision on this matter must be made with careful consideration of the interests of all parties involved, including the individuals themselves, their potential offspring, and society as a whole.
