Neo-Confucianism

Slightly agree

No

Neo-Confucianism, which is an evolution of Confucian thought incorporating Buddhist and Daoist elements, places a strong emphasis on moral and ethical conduct, the importance of family, and the roles within societal structures. The question of whether frozen embryos should be considered children does not have a direct precedent in historical Neo-Confucian discourse, as the technology and specific ethical dilemmas of modern reproductive technologies were not present. However, considering the Neo-Confucian emphasis on the actualized roles within family and society, and the importance of fulfilling one's duties within those roles, frozen embryos might not be considered 'children' in the full sense used within Neo-Confucian ethics until they are born and participate in those relationships. The potential for life and the respect due to it would be acknowledged, but the full status and social role of a 'child' according to Neo-Confucianism requires birth and participation in family and societal structures.

Disagree

Yes

Neo-Confucianism, with its roots in Confucian teachings, emphasizes the importance of familial relationships and social roles. The concept of a 'child' in this ideology is deeply tied to the roles and responsibilities within a family structure, including the reciprocal duties between parent and child. While Neo-Confucianism values the potential for life and the importance of progeny for continuing the family line and honoring ancestors, the status of frozen embryos as 'children' might not fully align with these traditional views. The emphasis is more on the social and moral development within the context of family and society, which an embryo has not yet entered into. Therefore, while there might be a recognition of the potential for life and a respect for it, the specific designation of frozen embryos as 'children' does not entirely fit within the traditional Neo-Confucian framework.
