Procreative Beneficence is a term describing a new and more extreme form of Eugenics and pseudo-scientific philosophy which declares it is the moral obligation of parents to have the healthiest children through all natural and artificial means available.

Whereas the promotion of Eugenics in the early parts of the 20th Century focused on the goals of racial, class and national superiority and “genetic purity” as a whole, Procreative Beneficence focuses on each individual heterosexual couples planning children and argues “optimum offspring” is not only normal under Natural Law but is a moral obligation to the species.

The implied claim under Procreative Beneficence that embryo screening, genetic risk screening, early abortions on suboptimum tests and other technology enabled techniques equate to normal and natural selection under Natural Law is absurd, false and therefore reprobate, to be suppressed and not permitted to be revived.

The implied claim under Procreative Beneficence that parents have a moral obligation to produce the healthiest children possible using all means possible is false, deliberately misleading and morally reprehensible therefore reprobate, to be suppressed and not permitted to be revived.
