Free Market Reproduction Learning Scenario It is important to understand that everyone has their right to an opinion, being it ethical vs. unethical. Most unethical cases though, are termed as illegitimate reasons, so they are frowned upon by, or as a society. As said in the post, a free market brings buyers and sellers close together based on supply and demand for various products. An example of ivory is given, being that it is an item that is sold and bought freely, but with the high demand of ivory sales, the result will be the cause of high mortality rate among thousands of elephants. The issue towards this is regarding whether it is ethical or not to put ivory products in the market, and according to me, this practice is highly unethical, as a living being is getting killed for no reason but to either achieve ivory jewelry or other materialistic objects. So, this being an unethical act, can be prohibited, and this goes for all the other marketable items in the world. Regarding the example above, I agree with Dr. Reynolds. She states that that market place is free of bias, but people present their own biases through the demand and supply that keep the market alive. She further states that while people are not looking to change the fundamental mechanism of the free market, one can certainly impose or ease restrictions, which amounts to imposing desired ethics. I agree with her as an example was given about how invitro fertilization has enhanced the hopes of individuals who are unable to conceive, but due to the market that follows it, the prices are extremely high, and individuals who are poor are unable to achieve their goal towards raising a family. It is dreadful how the market regarding fertilization likes to only play with people’s feelings and their money, rather than helping achieve their goal towards growing a family (Gregory, P. 2008).

Free Market Reproduction Learning Scenario In conclusion, I hope that IVF becomes accessible to the poor and needy families by bringing their excessive cost down.
