  The basis for this claim seems to rest on a distinction between “the grown and the made” (Habermas, 2003: 52). Being created to be a particular way is being made, and so objectified, a product of the parents. Being grown, by contrast, recognizes the individual subjectivity of the new person, who is equal to her parents and not defined by them. This objection shares much with Kass’s (2003) concerns about genetic despotism – control of one generation by the previous one.
