Yvette Pearson, Ph.D., is a Visiting Assistant Professor of Philosophy at Old Dominion University. She teaches Bioethics and Introduction to Philosophy at Old Domionion, as well as Ethics in Public Health to the Masters in Public Health Students in the ODU/Eastern Virginia Medical School program.
In August 2002, she earned her Ph.D. in Philosophy from the University of Miami, and her dissertation, entitled, "Procreation and Obligation" discusses various moral issues surrounding the concept of a right to reproduce, particularly in the context of the widespread use of assisted reproductive technologies (ARTs). Ultimately, she argues against the claim that there is a genuine right to reproduce, points out that the focus in any case of reproduction should be on one's obligations toward offspring and not on the so-called rights of those reproducing, and discusses a number of morally questionable practices on the part of the modern day fertility industry.
