Prenatal Testing and Eugenics

February 22, 2012Rose Woodhouse 30 Comments

Slate recently reprinted an article by Tucker Carlson that argues that prenatal testing for genetic disorders amounts to a form of eugenics. The article is generally excellent. As a philosopher, I sometimes teach applied ethics. I am generally pretty much liberal-ish,… Continue Reading →
