Abstract

Scientific and technological advancements in reproduction can significantly affect the procreative process, prompting a reevaluation of moral principles and concepts in this field. A pivotal example is the concept of prenatal harm. Although recent debates have primarily discussed the emergence of a novel type of prenatal harm in light of the availability of reproductive genome editing, this article proposes a new kind that has so far been overlooked: temporal prenatal harm. This concept considers the choice of the timing of procreation as a factor capable of causing harm to the future individual, and it can have implications regarding the moral duties of parents toward offspring in the procreative context.
