Morphological Freedom

From Gothpoodle

This is the belief that individuals should possess total control over their bodies. This includes the right to alter the body or brain in any way, whether chemical (such as drugs), cybernetic, genetic, surgical, or memetic, and also governs the rights of use and access.

Since many Earth governments do not guarantee morphological freedom, individuals seeking it have often been driven into space. Luna was one of the first offworld colonies to accept it in principle.

A significant issue in regard to morphological freedom is whether parents should have the freedom to alter their germ plasm, affecting their unborn children. Does this remove the child’s right to choose, or merely set a different baseline for his choice once he becomes an adult?
