The ethics of egg and embryo use In IVF clinics In human embryonic stem cell research Sandel: “they stand or fall together”

Assisted reproductive technologies (ARTs) In vitro fertilization (with or without pre- implantation genetic diagnosis) –Choosing at the level of the gametes

Assisted reproductive technologies (ARTs) In vitro fertilization (with or without pre- implantation genetic diagnosis) –Choosing at the level of the gametes –Status of social mother/parents –Gestational surrogacy –PGD: choosing at the level of the embryo What happens when range of traits screened for broadens? Prenatal fetal testing

The range of views Silver: pro-choice, pro-free market Sandel: critic of enhancement technologies; embryo as worthy of “respect” Hubbard: pro-choice feminist; genomania; disability rights critique Caplan: “baby making is not a business” Davis: child centered viewpoint
