A cutting-edge analysis of the global issues surrounding modern
reproductive technologies Advances in assisted reproductive
technologies have sparked global policy debates since the birth of
the first so-called "test tube baby" in 1978. Today, mitochondrial
replacement therapies represent the most recent advancement in
assisted reproductive technologies, allowing some women with
mitochondrial diseases to birth babies without those diseases. In
the past decade, mitochondrial replacement therapies have captured
public sentiment, reigniting debates around social views of
reproductive rights and the appropriate legal and political
response. Reproduction Reborn guides readers through the history
and science of mitochondrial replacement therapies and the various
attempts to control them. Leading experts from medicine, genetics,
ethics, law, and policy explore the influence of public debate on
the evolving shape of these technologies and their subsequent
regulation. They highlight case studies from both developed and
developing countries across the globe, including recent legislation
in Australia and China. They further identify the ethical, legal,
and societal norms that need to be addressed by policymakers and
communities as more and more people seek to gain access to these
treatments. Given the importance of reproduction in family life and
cultural identity, clinicians and policymakers must understand how
regulatory regimes around mitochondrial replacement therapies have
evolved to illuminate the processes and challenges of governing
reproduction in a fast-moving world. Informative and global in
scope, Reproduction Reborn explores how advancements in assisted
reproductive technologies challenge core values surrounding the
rights and responsibilities of modern-day family units.
