About half of the chapters take up questions about the morality of bringing children into existence. They discuss the following questions: Is it wrong to create human life? Is there a connection between the problem of evil and the morality of procreation? Could there be a duty to procreate? How do the environmental harms imposed by procreation affect its moral status? Given these costs, is the value of establishing genetic ties ever significant enough to render procreation morally permissible? And how should government respond to peoples' motives for procreating? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe other half of the volume considers moral and political questions about adoption and parenting. One chapter considers whether the choice to become a parent can be rational. The two following chapters take up the regulation of adoption, focusing on whether the special burdens placed on adoptive parents, as compared to biological parents, can be morally justified. The book concludes by considering how we should conceive of adequacy standards in parenting and what resources we owe to children. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis collection builds on existing literature by advancing new arguments and novel perspectives on existing debates. It also raises new issues deserving of our attention. As a whole it is sure to generate further philosophical debate on pressing and rich questions surrounding the bearing and rearing of children.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSarah Hannan is Assistant Professor of Political Studies at the University of Manitoba. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSamantha Brennan is Professor of Philosophy at Western University and co-editor of \u003cem\u003ePhilosophy and Death\u003c\/em\u003e (Broadview, 2009) and \u003cem\u003eThe Broadview Anthology of Social and Political Thought \u003c\/em\u003e(Broadview, three volumes, 2008-2012). \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eRichard Vernon is Distinguished University Professor at Western University and author of \u003cem\u003eCosmopolitan Regard\u003c\/em\u003e (Cambridge, 2010) and \u003cem\u003eHistorical Redress\u003c\/em\u003e (Bloomsbury, 2012).\u003cbr\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 288\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.8 x 9.2 x 5.9 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 05, 2015\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52714899669299,"sku":"9780199378128","price":107.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/NFk5bUcyZHN6aU9BS2VxMVF1WURvUT09.webp?v=1763585999","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/permissible-progeny-the-morality-of-procreation-and-parenting-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
