Artificial reproduction and eugenics in practice and theory, past and present. Artificial reproductive technologies at first include everybody, in order to subsequently exclude more and more individuals, who do not meet the standard of healthy, efficient and fit people. In absence of agency artificial reproductive technologies do not imply any alternative.
