In contemporary Western society, people are more often called upon to justify the choice not to have children than they are to supply reasons for having them. In this book, Christine Overall maintains that the burden of proof should be reversed: that the choice to have children calls for more careful justification and reasoning than the choice not to. Arguing that the choice to have children is not just a prudential or pragmatic decision but one with ethical repercussions, Overall offers a wide-ranging exploration of how we might think systematically and deeply about this fundamental aspect of human life. Writing from a feminist perspective, she also acknowledges the inevitably gendered nature of the decision; the choice has different meanings, implications, and risks for women than it has for men. After considering a series of ethical approaches to procreation, and finding them inadequate or incomplete, Overall offers instead a novel argument. Exploring the nature of the biological parent-child relationship -- which is not only genetic but also psychological, physical, intellectual, and moral -- she argues that the formation of that relationship is the best possible reason for choosing to have a child.

Ideal and theoretical. Overall argues that while reproductive rights must be respected, there are no solid reasons to procreate or not to procreate. Few arguments really stands out: 1. female autonomy, 2. moral responsibility towards one's children, 3. obligation? to bring the best possible child, 4. whether all/most existence is worth a while.

评分Christine Overall认为，不存在的人没有道德价值，生育既不能提升总体幸福度，也并不能使母体获得更好的健康数据，这些观点虽然已存在了很长时间，但Overall可能是试图对相关伦理学研究数据进行系统化总结的第一人。对生存价值的论述存在逻辑错误及引用缺失。
