Example text
However, I think it would be a mistake to conclude here that an individual decision not to reproduce is morally wrong or even not, morally speaking, private. It would only be in very unusual circumstances that a decision not to reproduce would be, or would significantly contribute to, a decision to end the human enterprise.
Normally, in medical decisions we assume that the stake that the patient has in the result of the decision is so much greater than that of anyone else who might be affected that it is appropriate to leave the decision entirely up to the patient, within the limits of technical feasibilities set by the physician. Some of the exceptions to this policy occur with contagious diseases, organ transplants, and use of scarce technology in the form of machines such as kidney dialysis machines. In these cases, issues of justice (in distributing scarce technology) or of the significant interests of others counterbalance concern for the autonomy of the patient.
Moreover, St. Thomas may be seen to have developed a theory of love within which sexual. union may be an aid to interpersonal love (Summa Theologiae II-II, 26, 11, [23], p. 256). Whether St. Thomas actually breaks with St. Augustine's theory of procreative sex and fully justifies marital intercourse as an expression of the good of fidelity is an issue that receives attention long past the thirteenth century ([10], pp. 9-11). Fifteenth through eighteenth century reflections call into question traditional presumptions regarding the character of sexuality.
