Obviously not the same. You are not just curing a "disease" (I actually would not even call infertility a disease), you produce a new human in the process. With an experimental technology.
Perhaps new humans have a right not to be produced by whatever means current Brave New World technology allows?
- inglor_cz 3y ago"Perhaps new humans have a right not to be produced" The problem is asserting such right on behalf of someone not yet born. Personally, I couldn't just demand that someone not be born because of my own opinions regarding technology. I just don't feel justified to deny other people procreation. And remember, in the 1980s, there were similar attitudes towards "regular" IVF. Frankenstein, ungodly, lab kids etc. Fortunately these prejudices mostly died out.
- hotpotamus 3y agoThough obviously it could be no other way, it's always struck me as odd that new humans can never consent to their creation, no matter the method. One of many reasons I will never create one.
