Hello everyone, welcome to a new episode of the Decenter. I'm your host as always, Ricardo Lopes, and today I'm joined by a returned guest, Dr. Theresa Barron. She is assistant professor of nothing at Nottingham University. And today we're going to talk about the ethics of procreation.

So, Dr. Barron, welcome to the show again. It's always a pleasure to have you one. Thank you. Lovely to be back.

Okay, so first of all, let me start with a general question. What is the ethics of procreation? I mean, what kinds of questions do you tackle there? Well, it's a it's a pretty broad area, I suppose, but if you had to boil it down to a one kind of key question, it would be how and why do we bring children in the world and is it okay?
