TY - JOUR T1 - Reproductive tourism as moral pluralism in motion JF - Journal of Medical Ethics JO - J Med Ethics SP - 337 LP - 341 DO - 10.1136/jme.28.6.337 VL - 28 IS - 6 AU - G Pennings Y1 - 2002/12/01 UR - http://jme.bmj.com/content/28/6/337.abstract N2 - Reproductive tourism is the travelling by candidate service recipients from one institution, jurisdiction, or country where treatment is not available to another institution, jurisdiction, or country where they can obtain the kind of medically assisted reproduction they desire. The more widespread this phenomenon, the louder the call for international measures to stop these movements. Three possible solutions are discussed: internal moral pluralism, coerced conformity, and international harmonisation. The position is defended that allowing reproductive tourism is a form of tolerance that prevents the frontal clash between the majority who imposes its view and the minority who claim to have a moral right to some medical service. Reproductive tourism is moral pluralism realised by moving across legal borders. As such, this pragmatic solution presupposes legal diversity. ER -
