MurphyCambridge, MA MIT Pressc20121 online resource (195 p.)Basic bioethicsDescription based upon print version of record.0-262-01805-5 Includes bibliographical references and index.The controversy -- The controversy goes mainstream -- A genetic study raises the stake -- Book reports, mostly -- In defense of trait selection -- More debate -- Beyond rights -- Not a few last words.Parents routinely turn to prenatal testing to screen for genetic or chromosomal disorders or to learn their child's sex. What if they could use similar prenatal interventions to learn (or change) their child's sexual orientation? Bioethicists have debated the moral implications of this still-hypothetical possibility for several decades. Some commentators fear that any scientific efforts to understand the origins of homosexuality could mean the end of gay and lesbian people, if parents shy away from having homosexual children. Others defend parents' rights to choose the traits of their children in general and see no reason to treat sexual orientation differently. In this book, Timothy Murphy traces the controversy over prenatal selection of sexual orientation, offering a critical review of the literature and presenting his own argument in favor of parents' reproductive liberty. Arguing against commentators who want to restrict the scientific study of sexual orientation or technologies that emerge from that study, Murphy proposes a defense of parents' right to choose. This, he argues, is the only view that helps protect children from hurtful family environments, that is consistent with the increasing powers of prenatal interventions, and that respects human futures as something other than accidents of the genetic lottery.HomosexualityGenetic aspectsSexual orientationResearchMoral and ethical aspectsPrenatal influencesPrenatal diagnosisHuman geneticsMoral and ethical aspectsBioethicsElectronic books.HomosexualityGenetic aspects.Sexual orientationResearchMoral and ethical aspects.Prenatal influences.Prenatal diagnosis.Human geneticsMoral and ethical aspects.Bioethics.176/.4Murphy Timothy F.1955-117379MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910464541803321Ethics, sexual orientation, and choices about children2451644UNINA01769nam0 22003973i 450 VAN0024395720241211084411.604978-88-470-1793-120220328d2011 |0itac50 baitaIT|||| |||||Metodi di ottimizzazione non vincolataLuigi Grippo, Marco SciandroneMilanoSpringer2011XIV, 613 p.ill.24 cm001VAN001045612001 Unitext.
