Burying Best Interests of the Resulting
Child: A Response to Professors Crawford,
Alvare, and Mutcherson
I. Glenn Cohent
I am gratified by the very kind remarks of Professors
Crawford,' Alvar6,2 and Mutcherson3 in their separate respons-
es to Regulating Reproduction4 and Beyond Best Interests, es-
pecially since each of them writes work that I greatly admire
and often rely on. Because I view responses like this as a
means of crystallizing and helping to resolve disagreements, I
focus here on those points where our views diverge rather than
the issues on which we agree. However, I do not want to give
the misleading impression that our points of disagreement are
more significant than our points of agreement. If anything, I
think the opposite is true.

Alvare, and Kim Mutcherson, not only for their excellent responses to my pa-
pers, but for comments on my reply to those papers. Lisa Sullivan provided
outstanding research assistance. Copyright © 2012 by I. Glenn Cohen.
