 Another route is to argue that reproduction is a special kind of case, and that special rules apply when determining what moral responsibilities arise for reproducers. Consider for example what David Benatar (1999) calls ‘reproductive autonomy’. Benatar argues that individuals’ reproductive autonomy both entitles them to make reproductive decisions, and requires them to take responsibility for the consequences of those decisions. He argues that this is a special feature of our ability to reproduce that is not fully reducible to genetics or mere causality, and results in a presumptive duty to parent the children created from our gametes. This, he argues, best explains why parental responsibilities arise in accidental pregnancy cases. Though in some circumstances the presumptive duty to parent one’s genetic children may be overridden, this is not the case for most instances of gamete provision (Benatar 1999).
