Suppressing reproductive freedoms?

February 11, 2009 by Tanya Zaleski 1 Comment

One thing is certain; the birth of these infamous octuplets sure has spurred on some debate. Today’s Yahoo! poll asks, “Do fertility clinics need stricter guidelines?” The majority seem to think so (89% in fact).

Had the mother of these eight babies had a ‘reduction,’ this story would never have made the news. Having said that, I think that reproductive freedom is intended to convey the message that a woman may have as many or as few children as she wishes. It seems to me, however, that she may have ‘as few’, but her right to have many is in question.

    Here is a link to an article in the Wall Street Journal about fertility clinics potentially offering a service where children are “created” with physical characteristics specified by the parents. The title of the article alone, “A Baby, Please. Blond, Freckles–Hold the Colic,” was enough to make me sick.
