Produktbeschreibung

This volume contributes to the growing literature on the morality of procreation and parenting. While building on existing literature by advancing new arguments and novel perspectives on existing debates, the collection raises new issues deserving of attention. About half of the chapters take up questions about the morality of bringing children into existence. The other half addresses moral and political questions surrounding adoption and parenting. As a whole, the volume is focused on encouraging further philosophical debate on pressing and rich questions surrounding the bearing and rearing of children.
