چکیده مقاله:

Background: ARTs have provided individuals with the new option of parenthood outside the realm of marriage. This option may give rise to certain moral problems. The problems could be encapsulated under the following titles: entitlement to reproduction , future and welfare of the resulting child , non-discrimination against single people , and professional autonomy .Methods: This research was undertaken by an analytic method, and the sources were mainly gathered from libraries and electronic data bases.Result: It seems that the welfare and future of the resulting child is of more significance in the study. In this regard, we may refer to the following issues as the more challenging ones: the necessary role of both masculine and feminine elements in the formation of the child’s character and identity, feeling of poverty due to the lack of one of the mother or father in comparison with other children of the same age, and the child’s entitlement to know her biological parents. These issues are significant, although we should wait until deep and exact psychological and sociological studies are run on children raised under the single parent by choice. Results of such studies will no doubt leave impact on the moral issues as mentioned. It should be seen whether or not the single parents by choice have reproduced and raised the children by love. The result of such investigation will undoubtedly influence the mentioned challenging issues.Conclusion: All in all, although due to the lack of reliable empirical studies on the destiny of such children, we cannot morally criticize the phenomenon of the single parent by choice in an absolute way, one may strongly recommend adoption, as opposed to reproduction, in this regard.
