  1. The Ethics of Nonmedical Sex Selection.H. Strange & R. Chadwick - 2010 - Health Care Analysis 18 (3):252-266.
    The aim of this paper is to demonstrate that there are significant ethical problems with nonmedical sex selection, and that prohibitive legislation is justified. The central argument put forward is that nonmedical sex selection is a sexist practice which promotes socially restrictive conceptions of sex, gender and family. Several steps are taken to justify this position: background information on technology and legislation is provided, the neoliberal position that is supportive of nonmedical sex selection is described, and preliminary reasons for rejecting (...)

  • Why a Criminal Prohibition on Sex Selective Abortions Amounts to a Thought Crime.Sonu Bedi - 2011 - Criminal Law and Philosophy 5 (3):349-360.
    In a sex selective abortion, a woman aborts a fetus simply on account of the fetus’ sex. Her motivation or underlying reason for doing so may very well be sexist. She could be disposed to thinking that a female child is inferior to a male one. In a hate crime, an individual commits a crime on account of a victim’s sex, race, sexual orientation or the like. The individual may be sexist or racist in picking his victim. He or she (...)
