Abstract
Discusses whether a woman's right to privacy extends to selective abortion based on foreknowledge of the characteristics (such as race or sex) of a fetus. Presents a number of hypothetical yet realistic scenarios where some couples might find this attractive and explores the ethical underpinnings and social ramifications of the right to selective abortion.
