Against Adoption Based Objections to Procreation

Pacific Philosophical Quarterly (forthcoming)

Abstract

Many philosophers and members of the public think it is wrong to procreate. If one wants children, it is permissible to adopt. But procreation is allegedly impermissible because there is some respect in which adoption is better than procreation. I show that such objections are unsound.
