A.) Jane and Bill are a deaf couple and they want a deaf child, so
Jane takes a drug while pregnant that will make the child deaf,

they go to a fertility clinic, fertilize several of Marys eggs, and
implant the one that has the gene for deafness
What are the moral differences between these cases, if any. Do you approve of one, but not the other? Both? Neither? Who is being hurt
in each case?
