AB - The harm principle has been widely used for constraining and guiding reproductive rights since John A. Robertson defined reproductive rights and gave presumptive primacy to them. However, this article argues that the peculiar attributes of reproductive ethics, in which it is necessary to compare existing to non-existing beings, make the harm principle incapable of properly guiding reproductive rights. At best the harm principle can play an auxiliary role in this task. This article calls for an alternative principle for guiding reproductive rights.
