ETHICSOC 184M: Population Ethics (PHIL 71)
This course examines the ethical issues that surround the decision to have a child. These issues are both private and public. For example, should we even have children knowing the environmental impacts of doing so? What kinds of population policies can the state legitimately enforce? Can it legitimately forbid parents from having more than one child? Can it adopt policies to promote a larger population? Other questions the course will consider include: Is the genetic engineering of children acceptable? Can it be permissible to use abortion as a means of sex selection? If one does have children, who ought pay the costs of supporting them?
