This article surveys relevant moral and ethical implications of reproductive medicine, excluding any aspects of contraception. To maintain the methodological priority of a moral perspective, it focuses on moral theory and ethics in general before looking at the impact of ethics on the different techniques applied in reproductive medicine. We suggest that discourse ethics should be centre-stage among the moral perspectives, since it has a unique capacity to synthesize, gauge and emulate other moral perspectives without necessarily replacing them. Questions of spousal fidelity, parental identity, sexual relations, reshaping of family ties, preimplantation diagnosis, discarding of human life, up to the question of what kind of life is generally acknowledged as worth living, and which is not, all these are morally significant topics. As well as providing a description of the techniques used in reproductive medicine, our article presents a rationale for charting potentials for moral problems. This renders it possible to elucidate the moral costs of each of the options offered by reproductive medicine in the light of whatever moral view one identifies with.

伦理与生殖医学。

本文调查了生殖医学的相关道德和伦理含义，不包括避孕的任何方面。为了保持道德观点的方法论优先性，在着眼于伦理学对生殖医学中使用的不同技术的影响之前，它通常侧重于道德理论和伦理学。我们建议，话语伦理应该在道德观点中处于中心地位，因为它具有综合，衡量和模仿其他道德观点而不必取代它们的独特能力。配偶忠诚，父母身份，性关系，重塑家庭关​​系，植入前诊断，放弃生命的问题，直到人们普遍承认什么样的生活才是值得的生活，而哪些则不值得，这些在道德上都是重要的主题。除了提供对生殖医学中使用的技术的描述之外，我们的文章还提供了绘制潜在道德问题图表的依据。这使得有可能根据一个人所认同的任何道德观点来阐明生殖医学所提供的每种选择的道德代价。
