Description
Begetting: What Does It Mean to Create a Child?
Mara van der Lugt explores the moral and philosophical implications of having children, encouraging us to consider our own responsibility and commitments. She examines the complex questions surrounding procreation, including the ethics of creating life and the personal significance of bringing a new person into the world.
This thought-provoking investigation acknowledges both the problematic aspects of procreation and the deeply human desire to have a child of one's own blood and making.
