Jessica Cohen, a graduate of Yale, has written the essay “Grade A: The Market for a Women’s Eggs” regarding her experience on donating her eggs to a fastidious infertile couple. The primary reason for her consideration was $25,000 that the couple was willing to pay for the right donor. Although such large amount of money sounds extraordinary to a college student, Cohen wasn’t qualified for the couple’s satisfaction due to her credentials therefore Cohen would not be creating their “perfect child”. She explains many viewpoints of the process of egg donation, health risks correlating with egg donation, and the medical process of conception from donated eggs. After all, creating the ideal child is too easy especially if the person can afford it.

The key ethical issue in Case 2 is whether sex-selection abortions is justifiable- legally and morally permissible. To rephrase it, do parents have the right to abort or terminate a pregnancy based on the fetus gender. A possible right is allowing sex-selection abortions to be impermissible, both legally and morally. For instance, if a fetus is a person then abortion would be considered as a murder; therefore, it would be impermissible: in this case, no other alternatives would have been possible(326).

We all love our siblings, but would you ever just want to be on this earth to be a mere end to save their life? It is becoming more common to have children just for that reason, and that is why they are being called donor babies. It is almost as if they have a duty to save their siblings lives, without having an opinion. Therefore, I will be defending the case of donor babies with Deontological ethics. Although, many people will raise the objection that it is right to have donor children to save the lives of others, it is clearly morally wrong to use that baby as a means and then, one day, that child will see themselves in that way.

In the video, Byock even says while talking about a figurative example for the problem at hand, “she doesn’t have any medical problems she’s just dying”. Byock acknowledges the issue and calls upon it saying that in order for a change to occur, the medical model needs to progress from a problem-based model into a human development model (2011). There are so many things to be said about birth and the life process up until the end where people choose to not speak about what is happening or going to happen in the future at that point. A human development model could help with the process of dying but letting people know about the options for what is available when the time comes, but also to be prepared for the situation. People that are dying need assistance in what to do when death is near and medical professionals need to be able to provide assistance with this and not abandon the issue.

In Elizabeth Marquardt’s article “Some Reproductive Technologies Should accusation,” she argues that use of anonymous sperm and egg donations should be halted due to the fact that the children conceived do not have access to both biological parents, which causes them to be "deprived of their full identities." According to Marquardt being raised and knowing our parents is our birthright and donor conception is infringes on that child's birthright. But is allowing a child to be born to only one biological parent really as unethical as she makes it sound? The answer is no.
