The same issue arises with more conventional technology, like in vitro
fertilization, of course. I guess that's pretty reliable now. You can't
make an omelette without breaking a few eggs, so if we have to produce a
few scrambled babies before we get good at it, is that fine with everyone?
It's really not a self ownership issue, it's a question of child ownership.
I see this as a classic gray area; I would be much more willing to intervene
on behalf of another child being injured by his parent than to try to stop
a person from hurting himself.
