PHI332 : The Class : Argument ID : Sample Quizzes : Exercise 2.13.8
It is easy to place too much mystical importance on genetic connections [between parent and child]. After all, there is no statistically significant genetic difference between a genetic parent and child and the genetic relationship between full siblings. It is the added psychological aspects of parenting that give the parental genetic connection such an entitlement to legal recognition. Nor should the fact that one's child shares one's genes become the basis for a property rights argument, in which the child is in some sense "owned" by the parent. Not only is this a dangerous doctrine that long led to child abuse and child labor, it fails to distinguish between owning the raw materials and owning the creation arising from them. (472)
