    Reasons For

    1 perspective
    Reason for
    ?
    • 1.Individual autonomous choices aggregate into population-level patterns; the distinction between personal ethics and demographic outcomes is artificial.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Market-driven reproductive selection produces eugenic outcomes without explicit eugenic ideology—structural effects matter morally regardless of intent.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Distinguishing 'medical necessity' from 'preference' assumes a stable boundary that dissolves under scrutiny—both reflect value judgments about worthiness.

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    1 perspective
    Reason against

      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Parents selecting against genetic diseases act from medical necessity, not ideology—fundamentally different from historical eugenic programs.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Labeling all preference-driven reproduction 'eugenic' expands the term beyond meaningful use, obscuring actual coercive eugenic practices.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
