I Take You . . . By Ted Peters. As reproductive technology alters the relationship between parents and children, he says, the base of the family must shift from biology to choice. His conclusion is that the procedures themselves are morally neutral. Peters' goal is to propose an ethics with enough moral muscle to prevent the devaluation of children, while sanctioning the ongoing development of genetic science.
Peters foresees two possible risks to children.
The second risk is that parents may fail to bond with children who do not share their genetic heritage. Parents might even reject children not genetically related to them. Whether a child is the result of designer genes, or of a genetic experiment gone tragically awry, God loves him and so should we. Whether a child is genetically related to us or unrelated, a result of donor eggs or sperm, God loves him and so should we. So far so good.
