Overview
Should parents be allowed to have a child to serve as a donor to save a sibling? Do children born as a result of assisted reproduction have a right to know their identity? To help multidisciplinary scholars keep pace with the field of bioethics, this volume compiles reprinted material spanning 1973-2003 from 28 different journals on such complex issues. Freeman (laws, U. College London) points out that relatively little attention has been paid to issues concerning child welfare and medicine within the focus on children's rights. Thought-provoking essays treat the implications of: assisted reproduction technologies, parental rights to make decisions from sex selection to treating/not treating neonates with major health challenges, healthcare decisions by youth, and child involvement in health research and testing.
