"The volume considers procreative ethics, what it means to be a parent, and how to balance parental and children's interests in a defensible specification of how children should be brought up and educated … This is, in sum, a rich if uneven collection that makes a welcome addition to what is now a well-established and rewarding domain of practical normative theory." – Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews"...this book is a solid addition to the procreation, parenthood, and philosophy of education literature in three ways. First, readers encounter a broad range of issues and ways to resolve them. Second, the moral problems addressed, while perennial, are growing more complicated with biotechnology enabling greater ability to design children. Finally, the essays build upon foundations laid by David Benatar (2008), Joel Feinberg (1980), Hugh LaFollette (1980), and Derek Parfit (1986) in the area. Overall, it is a fine piece of work." -Dennis Cooley, North Dakota State University, USA
