This book summarizes the contributions at an April 2016 conference
held at Albany Medical College, Reproductive Ethics: New Challenges
and Conversations. Reproductive ethics does not suffer from a lack
of challenging issues, yet a few "hot button" issues such as
abortion and surrogacy seem to attract most of the attention, while
other issues and dilemmas remain relatively underdeveloped in
bioethics literature. The goal of this book is to explore and
expand the range of topics addressed in reproductive ethics. This
is a multi-disciplinary book bringing together philosophers,
clinicians, sociologists, anthropologists, and other scholars whose
research or clinical interests touch reproductive issues. The
results of this compilation are a comprehensive and unique
discussion of the evolving issues in the rapidly changing field.
The majority of the popular reproductive ethics anthologies were
published at least 10 years ago. The field of reproductive ethics
would benefit from a new anthology that addresses some of the
perennial dilemmas in reproductive ethics (e.g. abortion, sex
selection) from updated perspectives and that also covers new
technologies that have emerged only in the last few years, such as
social egg freezing.
Oncofertility has emerged as a way to address potential lost or
impaired fertility in cancer patients and survivors, with active
biomedical research that is developing new ways to help these
individuals preserve their ability to have biological children. In
order to move beyond oncofertility as a science and medical
technology and begin to address the ethical, legal, and social
ramifications of this emerging field, we must give voice to
scholars from the humanities and social sciences to engage in a
multidisciplinary discussion. This book brings together a pool of
experts from a variety of fields, including communication,
economics, ethics, history, law, religion, and sociology, to
examine the complex issues raised by recent developments in
oncofertility and to offer advice from national and international
perspectives as we create new technology. Given the inherent
interdisciplinary nature of oncofertility, this book is not only
valuable, but also necessary to cultivate a deep understanding of
new issues with the eventual aim of offering proposals for
addressing them. Indeed, this book will be useful for people not
only within the humanities and social sciences disciplines but also
for those who are confronted with cancer and the possibility of
impaired fertility and the medical practitioners within oncology
and reproductive medicine who are at the front lines of this
emerging field.
This book is the second collection of essays on reproductive ethics
from Drs. Campo-Engelstein and Burcher. This volume is unique in
that it is both timely and includes several essays on new
technologies, while also being a comprehensive review of most of
the major questions in the field, from racial disparities in
reproductive healthcare to gene editing and the possibility of the
creation of a transhuman species. The scholars writing these essays
are pre-eminent in their fields, and their backgrounds are quite
varied, including philosophers, anthropologists, physicians, and
professors of law. Reproductive ethics remains an underdeveloped
area of bioethics despite the recent technological breakthroughs
that carry both great promise and potential threats. Building on
the first volume of work from a conference held just over one year
ago, this new collection of essays from a conference held April
2017 continues this discussion as well as provides ethical insights
and reviews of these emerging technologies. The ethical questions
swirling around human reproduction are both old and new, but the
conference presentations, and the essays derived from them, focus
on new ways of appreciating old arguments such as the ethics of
abortion, as well as new ways of seeing new technologies such as
CRISPR and mitochondrial transfer.
