Scientific research involving human embryos was a major topic of public debate in Britain during the 1980s. Despite strong support from the scientific community, embryo research was initially condemned by many ordinary people as well as by special interest groups, and came close to being banned by Act of Parliament. Michael Mulkay describes the dynamics of the parliamentary struggle over the future of embryo research, focusing on such issues as: the clash between the anti-abortion and pro-research lobbies; the tactics of the Government; political ideology; the media's role; the importance of gender; religion; the impact of science fiction; the lure of medical advance; and the difficulty of maintaining ethical control. He explains how the advocates of embryo research eventually triumphed, and ends with an examination of the cultural tensions which linger after the debate.

New reproductive technologies, such as in vitrio fertilization, have been the subject of intense public discussion and debate worldwide. In addition to difficult ethical, moral, personal and political questions, new technologies of assisted conception also raise novel socio-cultural dilemmas. How are parenthood, kinship and procreation being redefined in the context of new reproductive technologies? Has reproductive choice become part of consumer culture? Embodied Progress offers a unique perspective on these and other cultural dimensions of assisted conception techniques. Based on ethnographic research in Britain, this study foregrounds the experiences of women and couples who undergo IVF, whilst also asking how such experiences may be variously understood. This book offers a unique perspective on the cultural dimensions of assisted conception techniques such as IVF. It looks at experiences of those who undergo the treatment and asks how such experiences may be variously understood.

No other cluster of medical issues affects the genders as differently as those related to procreation--contraception, sterilization, abortion, artificial insemination, in vitro fertilization, surrogate motherhood, and genetic screening. Yet, the moral diversity among feminists has led to political fragmentation, foiling efforts to create policies that are likely to serve the interests of the largest possible number of women. In this remarkable book, Rosemarie Tong offers an approach to feminist bioethics that serves as a catalyst, bringing together the varied perspectives on choice, control, and connection. Emphasizing the complexity of feminist debates, she guides feminists toward consensus in thought, cooperation in action, and a world that would have no room for domination and subordination.Tong fairly and comprehensively presents the traditions of both feminist and non-feminist ethics. Although feminist approaches to bioethics derive many insights from nonfeminist ethics and bioethics, Tong shows that their primary source of inspiration is feminist ethics, leading them to ask the so-called "woman question" in order to raise women's consciousness about the systems, structures, and relationships that oppress them. Feminist bioethicists are, naturally, focused on acting locally in the worlds of medicine and science. Their different feminist voices must be raised at the policy table with one message in order to actually do something to make gender equity a present reality rather than a mere future possibility. Inability to define a plan that guarantees liberation for all women must not prevent feminists from offering a plan that promises to improve the estates of many women. Otherwise, a perspective less appealing to women may fill the gap.

L'embryon a-t-il une âme? Si oui, cette animation est-elle immédiate, dès la conception, ou bien différée? Et, dans ce cas, quand et comment se produit-elle? Cette question a de tout temps été objet de controverses. Les grandes religions monothéistes y apportent des réponses différentes. La science elle-même a longtemps balbutié avant, de comprendre les mécanismes intimes de la reproduction. À l'aube du XXIe siècle, les progrès de la biologie moléculaire renouvellent le débat. Médecin, spécialiste du traitement de la stérilité et des grossesses pathologiques, c'est d'abord en praticien quotidiennement confronté aux interrogations des patients que je m'exprime ici. La médecine, lorsqu'elle touche à la question des origines de l'être, doit tenir compte des progrès scientifiques mais également des questionnements éthiques et du sens à donner à nos décisions thérapeutiques. Le statut de l'embryon peut-il varier selon le regard qu'on lui porte?
