A wide-ranging exploration of whether or not choosing to procreate can be morally justified—and if so, how.

In contemporary Western society, people are more often called upon to justify the choice not to have children than they are to supply reasons for having them. In this book, Christine Overall maintains that the burden of proof should be reversed: that the choice to have children calls for more careful justification and reasoning than the choice not to. Arguing that the choice to have children is not just a prudential or pragmatic decision but one with ethical repercussions, Overall offers a wide-ranging exploration of how we might think systematically and deeply about this fundamental aspect of human life. Writing from a feminist perspective, she also acknowledges the inevitably gendered nature of the decision; the choice has different meanings, implications, and risks for women than it has for men.

After considering a series of ethical approaches to procreation, and finding them inadequate or incomplete, Overall offers instead a novel argument. Exploring the nature of the biological parent-child relationship—which is not only genetic but also psychological, physical, intellectual, and moral—she argues that the formation of that relationship is the best possible reason for choosing to have a child.

レビュー

Cogently argued and exhaustively researched, Overall's newest will be of particular interest to thoughtful adults engaged in this debate, as well as students and professionals in philosophy and sociology.—Publishers Weekly—

…Overall is clearly invested in making her work accessible to a range of readers. Given the current national conversation about reproductive rights, I wish work like Overall's was not only accessible, but required reading.

—Tammy Oler, Bitch—

5つ星のうち5.0 Excellent examination of core issues related to reproduction and motherhood
2017年12月25日にカナダでレビュー済み
Amazonで購入
A book I return too again and again. Very helpful for people struggling to sort through ideas on whether or not to have children. Helps cut through the noise of societal pressure related to age, gender, environmental sustainability, traditional -- you name it, this book addresses it. and presents accessible breakdowns of ideas related to reproduction and motherhood. I very much appreciated Overall's takedown of David Benatar's anti-natalist arguments.

If you are a woman unsure about whether or not she would like to have children, I'd highly recommend this book. It will help you sort through your emotions and heighten your ability to think through the decision in a rational manner. Thank you Christine Overall for this important contribution.

5つ星のうち2.0 Disappointing and Biased
2013年7月15日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済み
Amazonで購入
The author takes a strong anti-male tone throughout the book, repeating ad nauseam the fact that women "bear the burden of pregnancy and childbearing." From this, she goes so far as to say men should be held financially responsible even for a child that a women deceives him into creating. This is just one of the many outlandish claims of the book.

I agree with Dr. Overall's overall point that the decision to have kids requires more justification than the decision not to. In fact, I think she doesn't go far enough in cautioning people about the choice to reproduce. She brings up David Benatar's work (Better Never to Have Been), but completely misunderstands (and misconstrues) most of his well thought-out arguments. For example, she claims that even bad lives are better than no lives all, which Benatar (and most lay persons) refute almost instantly.

Dr. Overall claims that having children is a serious ethical issue, but then she throws it all out the door at the end: When someone asks her if they should have kids, she responds with "Don't miss it!" What the heck? You write a whole book discussing the ethical implications of reproduction and then say "oh well, go for it."

5つ星のうち3.0 Boring, badly written book

I never finished this book. It seemed to talk in circles about what the book was going to be about. It couldn;t keep my attention to actually get to a good point. After trying to read this, why not have kids? I couldn't tell you.

Though I disagree with some of Christine Overall's arguments I think the book is worth reading for anyone serious about the debate concerning the ethics of procreation.

5つ星のうち2.0 Frustrating...
2013年5月2日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済み
Amazonで購入
In the spirit on full disclosure, I agree with the central premise of this book: There are more compelling reasons NOT to have a child than there are to have a child.

That said, it appears as though Overall selectively ignores or willfully misinterprets counter arguments to her claims, namely those of Benatar's "better to never have been" philosophy. What's more, the author then attempts to knock down these now incomplete arguments or misinterpretations ad nauseum. This 'dance' grows tiresome and frustrating. Added to this, she has a troubling habit of making claims and assumptions about other theories and thinkers that are flat-out unsubstantiated.

It pains me to only be able to give a book about a topic so important and under-discussed 2 stars but I expected its handling to be done so with a little more objectivity and care.
