Abstract

"The radical future of birth is here - but are we ready for it? Throughout human history, every single one of us has been born from a person. So far. But that is about to change. Scientific research is on the cusp of being able to grow babies outside human bodies, from machines, for the very first time. Claire Horn takes us on a truly radical and urgent deep dive into the most challenging and pertinent questions of our age. Could artificial wombs allow women to redistribute the work of gestating? How do we protect reproductive and abortion rights? And who exactly gets access to this technology, in our vastly unequal world? In this interrogative and fascinating story of modern birth, 'Eve' imagines with eye-opening clarity what all this might mean for the future of humanity."--From publisher's website.

Abstract

Even 30 years after the birth of the first "artificially produced baby Louise Brown in 1978, the desire for a child remains unfulfilled for many couples. Their hopes are to modern techniques of assisted reproduction. Reproductive medicine has since made enormous progress and opens up new opportunities. With these opportunities, however, are also linked new challenges, their moral and legal implications are considerable. Auch 30 Jahre nach der Geburt des ersten „Retortenbabys“ Louise Brown im Jahr 1978 bleibt für viele Paare der Wunsch nach einem eigenen Kind unerfüllt, und ihre Hoffnungen richten sich auf moderne Techniken assistierter Reproduktion. Die Reproduktionsmedizin hat seitdem immense Fortschritte gemacht und neue Chancen eröffnet. Mit diesen Chancen ist indessen zugleich eine Fülle neuer Herausforderungen verbunden, deren moralische und rechtliche Implikationen erheblich sind. Der vorliegende Band vereint Beiträge zweier Tagungen, die im Jahr 2007 vom »Forum für Ethik in der Medizin Frankfurt am Main e.V.« gemeinsam mit der »Arbeitsgruppe Reproduktionsmedizin und Embryonenschutz in der Akademie für Ethik in der Medizin« sowie vom »Zentrum für Medizinrecht« der Universität Göttingen veranstaltet wurden und welche die aktuelle Debatte um die Reproduktionsmedizin und ihre Möglichkeiten aufgreifen. Sie wenden sich den Errungenschaften und Problemen assistierter Fortpflanzung im Allgemeinen zu, widmen jedoch ihr Augenmerk speziell donogenen Techniken (Eizellspende, Samenspende, Embryospende) sowie dem Kinderwunsch in besonderen Situationen (etwa körperliche Behinderung, letale Erkrankung eines Partners, gleichgeschlechtliche Lebensgemeinschaften).
