Document Summary
Phi2398 -- chapters 11 & 12 (march 3, 2017) Religious views on the unity of marriage, sex, and reproduction : Abrahamic religions -- genesis: god created man and woman, shall be fruitful and multiply, procreation gives marriage purpose. Catholic inseparability principle -- reproduction must come from marital sexual intercorse. Nothing specific from islam and judaism; i. e. artificial insemination okay in islam if sperm is husband"s and they are married. Secular views on the unity of marriage, sex, and reproduction: Daniel callahan -- anonymous sperm donations violate responsibilities of fatherhood (vs man merely provided genetic material, another actor will be the responsible father -- bonnie steinbock) Feminists argue for art (group 2) for equality of citizens, autonomy and self-determinization -- pro-choice (right to have or not have children) Radical feminism: arts are designed and delivered mostly by men and therefore extends patriarchy -- men want to dominate and control women and force them to reproduce.
