CONCEIVING VIRTUE : ETHICS IN HUMAN REPRODUCTION AND ASSISTED REPRODUCTIVE TECHNOLOGY
Ethics and science/technology are intertwined in a complex relationship that necessitates careful consideration to ensure a harmonious coexistence. At their core, ethics provide a moral compass, guiding scientists and technologists in the responsible pursuit and application of knowledge.
Is it just to bring a child into existence under the auspices of science when nature falters?
Can we reconcile the hunger for parenthood with the inherent consequences of our choices?
Should the state have a say in an individual’s reproductive rights, or is this a domain reserved for personal liberty?
Who, if anyone, holds the right to make decisions for a life sustained in a laboratory? How would the bonds of parenthood be affected by the absence of physical gestation?
How have we, as a species, navigated the potent interplay between procreation and morality?
In the agglomeration of human history, fertility has been a central thread, coloured by the hues of culture, religion, and science. It is an odyssey that spans millennia, from the first awe-struck observations of birth to the cutting-edge clinics of today. To unravel these questions, we must embark on a journey through time though this book.
