Assisted procreation is the use of assisted procreation technologies to achieve a pregnancy by artificial or partially artificial means. The results and implication of these different techniques and technologies in society raise questions about the morality of these acts. Are these actions always good or bad? Are they only suitable for certain groups of people? Are they morally correct? These are the kinds of questions that many people ask themselves, but the plurality of arguments makes it difficult to find clear answers. An analysis of the different arguments of bioethicists could allow us to better understand the question. Some philosophers like Laura M. Purdy and Gillian Hanscombe advocate for assisted reproduction. Purdy analyzes the question of surrogacy in the context of an assisted reproduction technique. She believes that surrogacy is simply taking on the burden and risks of pregnancy for another (91). She argues that prohibiting this transfer of risk would be paternalistic and would lead to a limitation of women's freedom (92). She sees benefits such as creating a lot of happiness, preventing serious genetic diseases, and creating non-traditional families (91). For her, surrogacy has the potential to empower women while exacerbating their exploitation (97). Hanscombe believes that lesbian women should be allowed to have children and that any objection can only be social (104). She believes that these social objections come from ignorance (105). She takes the example of a mother who was refused artificial insemination by a donor because she was a lesbian but who still managed to do it alone. Hanscombe believes that "we ignore the groups...... middle of paper...... the belief that surrogacy is simply taking on the burdens and risks for others, and his comparison of this act with the risk that people take every day. , suggest that some women are better trained than others to have children. A motorcyclist takes the risk of riding a motorcycle because he has trained or is confident in his abilities. A woman is naturally made to give birth so it's not really a burden for her. In addition, assisted reproduction itself represents a danger. A large Australian study found a small but significant increase in the risk of birth defects in babies conceived using assisted reproductive technologies (Bakalar). Across all methods, there was a 28 percent higher risk of birth defects in babies conceived with fertility treatment, including an increased risk of heart, muscle, urogenital and gastrointestinal malformations and cerebral palsy (Bakalar).
