    Essay #2: Disability or Enhancement?

The role of parents is to ensure the wellbeing, safety, and support of their child in hopes that they can become stable, independent, and functional individuals in the near future. However, choosing a sperm donor with a history of deafness or any other disabilities is morally unjust because it is specifically taking a trait and implanting it upon a child causing them a life of hardships that they have to endure.…

If they aren’t empowered in their choices then it would lead to the individual being left behind in the activities carried out and therefore be unable to enjoy the activity to its maximum extent. The individual may face barriers in the activity due to their lack of ability for example they might be in a wheel chair which means they need more space to move around so the furniture would need to rearranged or if they have language…
