Abstract
A. Pregnancies in men? You mean with artificial wombs, big, bigger than male beer bellies, artificial hormones and Caesarians? What about the integrity of the male body? It is disgusting, unnatural and morally irresponsible. Imagine being the child born from a man’s body. I mean, Pallas Athena was a God and atleast she came from Zeu’s head, not his belly. But an ordinary human child?Women should protest:what right do men have to take away this specific female role? Being pregnant is an exclusive female right! Isn’t anything sacred anymore?
(...) and there is no real escape from prior moral ‘intuitions’ after all. Our rationalized desires are not a bedrock of morally neutral facts. (Daniels 1996, 5)
