| Abstract: | Is procreation a biological act or an essentially human act? I believe that this is a fundamental question to be addressed when evaluating human reproductive technology. All the more so because assisted reproductive techniques can so easily shift from the therapeutic to the manipulative. The distinction between therapy and experimentation pure and simple lies at the very core of any analysis of this particular area of study in order to safeguard the integrity of the "person" which is the subject of treatment. I do not only refer here to the patient in the broad sense of the term, but to all parties involved in the reproductive process as well as the human life from inception. |
