Abstract:
:The assumption that people have a right to have children is considered in relation to the question of whether society has an obligation to allocate resources to make clinical in vitro fertilization available, at least to married couples where the woman is infertile and the couple provides the ovum and sperm. The author analyzes various issues that need to be addressed: the distress that accompanies infertility versus the fact that infertility is not a life- or health-threatening condition; the distinction between basic needs or desires on the one hand and claim rights on the other; the extent of the obligations that affluent societies have to fund other services related to the bearing and rearing of children; the costs and benefits of relieving infertility through IVF versus other means; and the concept of compensation to one who has been injured or harmed unjustly, here by the involuntary loss of reproductive capacity.
