Better to have children: A response to Harrison and Tanner
Think 21 (60):65-78 (2022)
Abstract
In Harrison and Tanner's ‘Better Not to Have Children’, it's argued that having children is immoral as well as detrimental to one's well-being. In this article, I argue against those claims and defend the position that, for most people, having children is morally permissible and greatly enhances their well-being.Author's Profile
