Comments:

I wasn't able to read each essay, but am I wrong that not one of them touched on the subject of same-sex reproduction or genetic engineering of designer children? None of them seemed like they addressed donor conception, either, or artificial wombs or surrogacy.

Same-sex reproduction is the most relevant to today because people are being very adamant that same-sex couples should have "all the rights" of a man and a woman, and so that would seem like they have already decided the question on whether or not to allow same-sex reproduction technology in principle.
