Abstract
Most parents would do anything within their reach for their children, including genetic modification. Some parents may want taller or faster children, smarter or healthier ones. And some parents may want children that aremore comfortable in their family setting. Under special circumstances, would it be wrong for deaf or blind parents to genetically modify and select deaf or blind children?Are there good reasons not to genetically modify children in such ways? Would not prohibitions against such modifications infringe on the liberty and autonomy of prospective parents? Martin Harvey argues against such genetic dis-enhancements on a variety of moral grounds, employing the backing of a variety of traditional moral theories including deontological, teleological. and consequential arguments.
