Area of Science:

  • Ethics
  • Social Philosophy
  • Bioethics

Background:

  • Herjeet Kaur Marway's Principle of Procreative Justice posits a moral obligation for individuals to avoid perpetuating race and color injustices via procreative choices.
  • This principle raises significant ethical considerations regarding reproductive autonomy and societal justice.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To critically analyze Marway's Principle of Procreative Justice.
  • To identify and evaluate the implications and potential drawbacks of the principle.
  • To propose an alternative framework for addressing structural injustice in procreative contexts.

Main Methods:

  • Philosophical analysis of ethical principles.
  • Development and examination of counterexamples to test the principle's implications.
  • Constructive ethical proposal for alternative duties.

Main Results:

  • Counterexamples reveal that some implications of the Principle of Procreative Justice are ethically challenging and difficult to accept.
  • The principle faces principled objections concerning the nature of pro tanto duties in procreative decision-making.
  • The study identifies limitations in solely focusing on procreative choices to address injustice.

Conclusions:

  • The Principle of Procreative Justice, as formulated, may not be a fully defensible ethical framework.
  • There is a need for a broader understanding of duties related to structural injustice.
  • Agents possess a pro tanto duty to actively participate in eliminating structural injustice, which can be fulfilled through diverse actions beyond procreation.
