Reproduction trends and the emergence of moral XXXX .

@entity1 @entity2358 @entity4697
Are we witnessing a moral @entity4697 or a moral evaluation in the responses to the new reproductive technologies? Locating @entity1 in reproductive technology is a particularly powerful way into a discussion of values and consequences, intended or unintended. Twelve areas are isolated for discussion beginning with issues of definition and location: What is reproductive and genetic engineering? and How does @entity1 reproduction fit into bio-technological developments generally? Next issues are raised about how the new developments are being shaped ideologically and how they are being promoted by the state. A series of legal issues affecting @entity1 , @entity1 , @entity1 , embryos and fetuses follow. The focus then shifts to the way @entity1 are ideologically constructed: Why is there an assumption that @entity1 = mother, and mother = heterosexual married or stable cohabiting @entity1 ?--and socially controlled: Why assume technological change in @entity1 reproductive processes means the basic subordination of @entity1 to @entity1 will not alter? The usefulness of the new technologies in relieving @entity2358 is then queried which leads on to a questioning of whether these developments are qualitatively different from other technologies used in @entity1 reproduction. Futuristic concerns such as the importance of the male pregnancy and the social consequences of fully medicalising @entity1 reproduction are raised. The last area to be considered is protest by @entity1 and suggested alternative approaches to increase the social visibility and recognition of the needs and interest of @entity1 in the current and potential use of the new medical and scientific developments.
