Procreative Beneficence, Diversity, Intersubjectivity and Imprecision (original) (raw)

Sparrow claims that we should not "impose diversity" when it reduces the well-being of children created to achieve diversity. He argues that social constructivists about disability are mistaken in "imposing disability". He claims that my arguments supporting certain kinds of diversity are flawed and are inconsistent with Procreative Beneficence (PB) -the moral obligation to have the best child. (Sparrow 2015) Sparrow claims, "I have argued that an obligation to have the best child possible would require all parents in a given environment to reproduce using clones of the same embryo…" In another target article in AJOB, he argues that PB supports only having women (Sparrow, 2010) (and there he bemoans lack of sexual diversity). I have responded to these arguments
