Identity and Reproductive Technology
[ send me this essay ]
This is a 4 page paper discussing the ideas of identity through the ongoing controversy of reproductive technology. Identity in today’s culture has become skewed in relation to the increasing technological possibilities in reproduction and the continued quest for the ideal American dream. Eugenics, or selective breeding, has been the basis for considerable controversy for over seventy years yet reproductive technology continues to expand. Today’s technologies can offer researchers control over genetic characteristics in which the genes carrying congenital defects can be identified, altered or removed. While this is intended to create a healthier population, reproductive technology is also considered as a way to pre-select desirable traits for future generations; the problem being who will be the ones to decide which traits are desirable? In the 1920s, Chesterton discussed the protection of American identity through eugenics while Albee’s play in the 1960s “The American Dream” tells how the American identity has become one of superficial and materialistic values. Most recently, McGee in his text “The Perfect Baby” points out that regardless of any advances in reproductive technology, social influences will always overpower them. Bibliography lists 7 sources.
