Part II(C) explains what it means for one class of persons to have property in another, and Part II(D) describes the power prospective parents exercise over their prospective children in the act of procreating.

For Hohfeld, a power is "an ability to cause, by an act of one's own, an alteration in a person's rights, either one's own rights or those of another person or persons, or both." (101) Consistent with this definition, the very act of procreating allows prospective parents to determine future legal and moral relations, including relations in property, for members of the class of prospective children.
While procreators must cooperate with others, the act of procreating can be divided into individual voluntary acts that can themselves be the subject of regulation.
Under either approach, however, the procreative right becomes synonymous with the concept of personal free will, divorced from the behavior of procreating and its consequences for others, and without intrinsic limits.
