Podcasts about reproductive technologies

You've heard of IVF, now scientists are working on the next generation of reproductive technology, called IVG or in vitro gametogenesis. It's technology to produce eggs and sperm in a lab, possibly from just the skin cells of a prospective parent. It would, in theory, allow three people to create a baby or even just one person, alone. Today, Dr Alexandra Harvey, a senior research scientist with Melbourne IVF on the science behind it and the ethical dilemmas it will bring.Featured: Dr Alexandra Harvey, senior research scientist at Melbourne IVF

The Bible is clear that children are a blessing from the Lord. Does how we conceive them matter to God and is there something morally wrong with reproductive technologies? Katie Breckenridge writes on the ethics of reproductive technologies and abortion for Salvo Magazine and Them Before Us, and she is on the show to share how Christians ought to think about and have these conversations with others. This episode is not meant to offend anyone who has conceived a child through reproductive technologies or adopted a child. The goal is to get us thinking about what God, the giver of life, says about how we ought to value human life and what that means for the Church.   Get your 2025 Madalynn Faith Planner!

We at CBHD have been addressing reproductive technologies throughout our history. In 2017, at our 24th annual conference, we held a colloquium on Catholic, Protestant, & Orthodox Approaches to Reproductive Technologies. Three speakers walked through their convictional approach to these issues, each in turn.  This episode of the bioethics podcast is the third of three that carries these talks.  In the first episode, Marie T. Hilliard, JCL, PhD, RN, of the National Catholic Bioethics Center. presented A Catholic Approach to Reproductive Technologies.  The second episode had Scott B. Rae, PhD, of Talbot School of Theology, Biola University, with Protestant Approaches to Reproductive Technologies.  The series concludes in this episode with Gayle E. Woloschak, PhD, on an Orthodox approach.  Dr. Woloschak is Professor of Radiation Oncology, Radiology, and Cell and Molecular Biology in the Feinberg School of Medicine at Northwestern University.  She is also adjunct faculty at Lutheran School of Theology, Pittsburgh Theological Seminary, and St. Vladimir's Orthodox Seminary.

If certain technologies separate children from a biological parent, is it still ok? We continue our conversation about donor-conceived adults with Katy Faust, founder of Them Before Us, looking at more research outcomes, and then delve into a new guidebook on policy that places the needs of the child first, which is groundbreaking!

New studies reveal donor-conceived adults are struggling with their history, their identity, hundreds of new siblings, and the lack of medical history—just to name a few of the many issues plaguing this unique population. Katy Faust, founder of Them Before Us, joins us to discuss the ramifications of certain reproductive technologies and asks, "Is it helping or hurting children?"

This episode is the second in a series of three looking at reproductive technologies from Catholic, Protestant, and Orthodox perspectives.  In the first episode, Marie T. Hilliard of the National Catholic Bioethics Center presented a Catholic approach to Reproductive technologies.  This episode has Scott B. Rae, PhD, of Talbot School of Theology, Biola University, with a protestant approach.  The series will conclude in the next episode with Gayle E. Woloschak, PhD, on an Orthodox approach.

Reproductive technologies, especially in vitro fertilization (IVF), remain at the forefront of the news and societal conversation in 2024. In 2017, at our 24th annual conference, we held a colloquium on Catholic, Protestant, & Orthodox Approaches to Reproductive Technologies. Three speakers walked through their convictional approach to these issues, each in turn.  This episode, then, begins a series of three episodes that will carry these talks.  The first, in this episode, is by Marie T. Hilliard, JCL, PhD, RN, of the National Catholic Bioethics Center, presenting a Catholic approach to Reproductive technologies.  The next episode will feature Scott B. Rae, PhD, with a Protestant approach, and the series will conclude with Gayle E. Woloschak, PhD, on an Orthodox approach to reproductive technology.

Fr Thomas is joined by author and advocate, Katie Breckenridge, to talk about the tragic downstream impact on familes and children of easy access to abortion, surrogacy, IVF, and other reproductive technogies eroding the traditional family structure.

Welcome to another thought-provoking episode of Brave New Us, where we delve into the complex world of fertility treatments through the lens of Catholic bioethics. In this episode, we're joined by John DiCamillo, Ethicist and Personal Consultations Director at the National Catholic Bioethics Center (NCBC). With the moral landscape of fertility interventions becoming increasingly intricate, many Catholics find themselves navigating a maze of questions. IVF is widely acknowledged as problematic, but what about other interventions like gamete intrafallopian transfer or intrauterine insemination? Especially when these methods involve the couple's own gametes, the ethical considerations can be daunting. John brings 12 years of expertise as a full-time ethicist to the table, offering insights into how the NCBC provides guidance on these very issues. Through research, writing, publications, and education, the NCBC stands as a beacon for those seeking clarity in the area of Catholic bioethics. Tune in as Samantha and John discuss the dilemmas faced by couples exploring fertility treatments, the principles that can help discern the morality of different methods, and the invaluable role of personal consultations in addressing these sensitive topics.

Jewish Ethics Institute - Rabbi Yossi Grossman

Experts review the legal and medical status of reproductive rights & technologies today. Surrogacy lawyer Roia Barrios and reproductive endocrinologist & obgyn fertility specialist Dr. Carolina Sueldo discuss the Alabama IVF law, "fetal personhood," the Florida Abortion Ballot measure, & the pending Florida 6-week abortion ban.

A recent Alabama Supreme Court decisions has ignited a passionate discourse about the morality of in-vitro fertilization (IVF), and pro-life Christians stand on either side of the debate. The case centers on a wrongful death lawsuit that was brought against a fertility clinic in 2020 after the embryos of a couple using the clinic's IVF treatment services were accidentally destroyed. The Alabama Supreme Court has ruled that the suit has valid grounding, since an embryo is a human life. Many pro-lifers are hailing the ruling as a victory. Nevertheless, the precedent this ruling sets has implication well beyond this specific case, and fertility clinics have discontinued their IVF services for fear of legal exposure. If embryos are to be treated as humans, then fertility clinics could face civil or even criminal charges for destroying them, something that is a regular practice in IVF treatments. On this episode, we explore the moral complexities involved with IVF and other reproductive technologies. How can Christian think through these questions in a way that is theologically informed and compassionate toward potential mothers, as well as their future children?

Malcolm Collins is a parent, polymath serial entrepreneur, education nerd, pronatalist and a 5x bestselling author, including the Pragmatists' Guide series.He has a podcast and YouTube channel called Based Camp.In this episode, we talk about a wide range of topics including:Demographic Collapse: At current fertility rates in developed countries, there will be 5 grandchildren per 100 people. This demographic trend is not economically sustainable and will lead to fundamental transformations of society.Pronatalism: Pronatalism is a movement that Malcolm and his wife Susan are well, known for as the founders of Pronatalists.org. The analogy is with climate change: it's not about freezing the planet, it's about countering an unsustainable trend - population decline - by having more children.Charter Cities: Malcolm views charter cities as key for the pronatalist movements as incubators for a different culture that is not influenced by "urban monoculture".Some of Malcolm's surprising theses are:The collapse is coming when markets price in lack of population growth and divest from assets that losing money to places that grow. These shifts in market sentiments typically happen gradually, and then suddenly.The winning cultures need more than high birth rates. The Amish people have high birth rates, but little clout. The winning cultures need to have high birth rates and be technophilic and be at the forefront of technologyThe key for charter cities or special jurisdictions to attract Malcolm are: a) a guaranteed right to use reproductive technologies, and b) a harsh environment, like a space colony, that nurture a culture of hard work to surviveThis is a kaleidoscopic episode with insights into the frontiers of humanity.

You're in a conversation and the topic of surrogacy comes up. A friend tells you they're considering IVF and seeks your counsel. A fellow prolifer excitedly tells you about artificial wombs, saying they are the answer to abortion. Do you know what to say? Do you know what you believe about these reproductive technologies? Are they ethical, moral? For most people, even Christians, the answers are “no” & “I don't know.” And if you haven't found yourself in one of the above conversations or something like it, you will soon. The commodification of children is a  current reality we all need to stand against. We hope this episode enlightens you, equips you and empowers you. These are tough topics and we know toes will be stepped on. We seek what is true, right and good. Our goal is to see all things from a Biblical worldview.

Welcome to Food Freedom and Fertility, this episode we have Dr. Laura von Hagen to discuss using reproductive technologies without shame or guilt. We hope today's episode can help remove the stigma and shame out of couples want to use reproductive technology as the next step of their journey.   Dr. Laura is a nature path doctor who used IVF to conceive. During this episode you will hear Dr. Laura's journey and how she and her husband went to get pregnant it just wasn't possible to use natural conception due to her PCOS. She tried letrozole for 6 rounds with no response. They decided that the next best step for them was to start IVF. Dr. Laure thinks of our IVF treatment as an opportunity to help them grow their family. If you would like to learn more about her journey and learn more about PCOS and pregnancy her book is a wonderful blueprint. It is informative and personal to help you navigate your own personal journey. One important point that Sophia, Caitlin and Dr. Laura want to remind our PCOS listeners is that if you are going off the pill and you don't see a period coming do not wait a year, and if your doctor won't help you find a different doctor.   Being a professional in an industry where you are also the patient is difficult and she shares with us how taxing it was to navigate the emotional side of showing up to an IVF clinic as a Naturopathic Doctor. Not only did it take a toll on her relationship and her husband, but hearing from others in her field “have you tried this or that” was emotionally exhausting. Dr. Laura did enlist help and see a counselor and an acupuncturist and she highly recommends it for anyone else dealing with a similar journey. She personally did not attend any groups but does believe they are also extremely helpful.     The journey from letrozole to IVF seems to be the most difficult on this fertility path and Dr. Laura has learned that some patients are fundamentally against it, some feel that their career keeps them so busy that how will they handle all of the doctor appointments that come with IVF treatment. People are also very afraid of the unknown and then the thought that lingers in everyone's mind… what if this also fails? Women tend to feel the most weight of the failure even though there are both egg and sperm factors that contribute to infertility. Women seem to carry a lot of shame because they feel something is wrong with them.     Caitlin, Sophia and Dr. Laura also how risk factors aren't always discussed during IVF treatment or they chose to not ask questions about the treatment. It is also true that fertility clinics are very busy and unless you advocate for yourself and ask questions sometime risk factors aren't necessarily brought up during the appointment. Dr. Laura helps her patients learn about the risk factors and what to expect through the entire process. If you would like to learn more about Dr. Laura please see her bio below. If you are out of her network her bio can also help you find a Naturopathic Doctor by giving a synopsis of how she works with her patients.     Dr. Laura von Hagen, MSc, ND has a strong clinical focus in PCOS, prenatal care, and fertility. As a Naturopathic Doctor, she has a passion for providing excellent, evidence-based integrated care. Dr. von Hagen, ND fundamentally believes in empowering her patients on their fertility journey and helping them achieve their ultimate goal, healthy pregnancy and baby. She shares her own personal IVF journey and expertise in her new book, My PCOS Pregnancy: Your Guide to Getting and Staying Pregnancy with PCOS.   Before becoming an ND, she completed an undergraduate degree in Kinesiology at Queen's University and a Master's in Clinical Anatomy at Western University. Outside of the clinic, she loves to spend time outdoors and in her kitchen. https://lauravonhagen.com Instagram My PCOS Pregnancy Book

I am your host Sarah Nyakeri, a scientist, informal science communicator and a hiker. I am a multidisciplinary individual that does digital marketing and website design during my free time.The main questions asked that scientists are expected to answer vulnerable are: How are you, Introduce yourself, how did you become a scientist, What are the highs and lows you have experienced in your science career, tell the listeners about your hobbies, what question would you like to answer that has not been asked and how do you feel after having this conversation.Why did I start this podcast? You might ask. When doing my MSc project, my experiments started to fail at a certain period and it was very frustrating. I thought, If I finally get a new vaccine target for CBPP in cows, it would be all smiles but no one will ever know what I went through. I also wondered how many scientists were going through the same rough patch but did not openly talk about it?One day when I had just had a rough day, I talked into a mic about my day and I felt better. That was the first episode. At first, I thought it would just be journalling but after some fellow scientists heard it, they wanted to be Vulnerable too. Since then I have brought scientists from different fields to tell their stories of the highs and lows they have experienced with honesty and authenticity being the lead of our informal and long conversations.I enjoy asking questions since I am a naturally curious person. Feedback from the audience, including scientists and non-scientists, is the main motivation I message scientists or accept their request to be on the podcast, schedule an interview, edit audio, design the artwork, post it, and share it on social media platforms. It is a full-time job that requires me to spend from my pocket with no monetary returns, but I enjoy it.If you want to be Vulnerable on the show, send me an audio message either on speak pipe (https://www.speakpipe.com/VulnerableScientistVoicemail ) or anchor (https://anchor.fm/thevulnerablescientist/message).

I am a multidisciplinary individual that does digital marketing and website design during my free time.The main questions asked that scientists are expected to answer vulnerable are: How are you, Introduce yourself, how did you become a scientist, What are the highs and lows you have experienced in your science career, tell the listeners about your hobbies, what question would you like to answer that has not been asked and how do you feel after having this conversation.Why did I start this podcast? You might ask. When doing my MSc project, my experiments started to fail at a certain period and it was very frustrating. I thought, If I finally get a new vaccine target for CBPP in cows, it would be all smiles but no one will ever know what I went through. I also wondered how many scientists were going through the same rough patch but did not openly talk about it?One day when I had just had a rough day, I talked into a mic about my day and I felt better. That was the first episode. At first, I thought it would just be journalling but after some fellow scientists heard it, they wanted to be Vulnerable too. Since then I have brought scientists from different fields to tell their stories of the highs and lows they have experienced with honesty and authenticity being the lead of our informal and long conversations.I enjoy asking questions since I am a naturally curious person. Feedback from the audience, including scientists and non-scientists, is the main motivation I message scientists or accept their request to be on the podcast, schedule an interview, edit audio, design the artwork, post it, and share it on social media platforms. It is a full-time job that requires me to spend from my pocket with no monetary returns, but I enjoy it.If you want to be Vulnerable on the show, send me an audio message either on speak pipe (https://www.speakpipe.com/VulnerableScientistVoicemail ) or anchor (https://anchor.fm/thevulnerablescientist/message).

This is the second episode in our series on Breakthroughs in Reproductive Technologies. Here Dr Jane Fenelon and Dr Rachel West talk to Dr Rebecca Krisher about the impact that Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART) have had on human reproduction. Join us as we learn more about the common procedures that are available to us today and their efficacy and about some of the controversies surrounding ‘add-ons' on offer in the IVF clinic We also try and answer some of the big questions like when should women start thinking about their fertility? And what does the future hold? As well as a fascinating insight into Rebecca's career journey so far and tips for trainees.

The Dangers of New Reproductive Technologies (Part 2) Human reproduction is one of the most amazing areas of life we study. Scientific advancements can now allow people to become parents who would never have otherwise had the chance. But this area is fraught with dangers like those that exploit surrogates or treat embryos as disposable commodities. Listen in as Lenny cautions about the progress and the pitfalls of new reproductive technologies. This class is part of a full series of lectures entitled "Christianity and Science: Tackling the Issues of the 21st Century." To find out more, visit the comereason.org web site. Part 2 of 2

How did activists in Ireland convince an overwhelming majority of the country to vote in 2018 to reverse the country's abortion ban that had been more or less in place for over a century? According to Graduate Center Ph.D. candidate Brenna McCaffrey (Anthropology), the change in public opinion was influenced by a relentless campaign led by women who put the issue of access to safe, medically approved abortion pills at the center of their advocacy. McCaffrey followed the campaign and is writing about it in her dissertation, All Aboard the Abortion Pill Train: Activism, Medicine, and Reproductive Technologies in the Republic of Ireland. Her research also influenced her decision to become an abortion rights activist via TikTok after the passage of the Texas abortion ban in September 2021. McCaffrey's efforts garnered media coverage of how women in Texas were seeking alternatives to the limited options available to them and the growing recognition that the Supreme Court appears poised to overturn Roe v. Wade this term. McCaffrery joins The Thought Project podcast to discuss her research, her activism, and the future of abortion rights in the U.S.

The first in our series on Breakthroughs in Reproductive Technologies. Here Dr Jane Fenelon and Dr Jean-Magloire Feugang interview Prof Peter Hansen on the history of Assisted Reproductive Technologies and its impact on the Agricultural Industry. In Part 2 learn more about how the use of genomics has revolutionized the field and what the future holds for ART technologies. As well as some useful advice to young scientists just starting out.

The first in our series on Breakthroughs in Reproductive Technologies. Here Dr Jane Fenelon and Dr Jean-Magloire Feugang interview Dr Peter Hansen on the history of Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART) and the significant impacts its had on the Agricultural Industry. In Part 1 learn what we mean when we talk about ART technologies and about the pioneers in the field who were instrumental in setting up these technologies. 

This week we are resuming our conversation about infertility which begun in our previous episode. If you haven't yet listened to that discussion, which focused on IVF, we'd recommend pausing this and going back to it as we will build on some of the ideas we explored last time. Today, we moved on to consider new ethical issues among other reproductive technologies. This is an area of medicine and science which is developing fast, sometimes faster than ethicists and regulators can keep up. What would it mean if we were able to genetically screen embryos to choose the most desirable traits before pregnancy? Is surrogacy, a growing alternative to IVF, a good option for couples or could it unintentionally become exploitative? And more broadly, should we as Christians be concerned by this rush to find technological solutions to our human frailties? See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Reproductive biotechnologies have contributed to many major advances in livestock production, and the proper application of these technologies can lead to livestock with superior genetic traits. This is vitally important given the high rates of malnourishment and poverty in developing countries, where communities could greatly benefit from an increase in meat and dairy products. Collaborating with scientists across the world, Dr Curtis R. Youngs of Iowa State University aims to increase the production of animal-derived foods in developing nations by applying reproductive biotechnologies to improve the efficiency and sustainability of livestock production.

Stephen Butler joins Emma-Louise Coffey on this week's Dairy Edge podcast with an insight into the Sexed Technologies lab that will be established in Moorepark later this year to provide a semen sorting service open to all AI companies. This offers the potential for a greater number and elite bulls to become available as sexed straws. Sexed semen in combination with high Dairy Beef Index bulls can help farmers produce sufficient high genetic merit dairy replacements while improving the carcass weight and conformation of surplus stock adding greater value to the beef farmer. Stephen gave some insight into the In Vitro Embryo Production/Transfer experiment that was carried out in the spring of 2021. This involves collection of oocytes from either live donors or from ovaries collected after slaughter. The oocytes are fertilised and cultured in a lab for seven days before being transferred to a surrogate dam that has been synchronised to be on day seven of her oestrous cycle. Using this technology, an elite genetic merit dam can be scheduled to have oocytes collected weekly for several weeks. This technology facilitates the dam moving from having one calf per year to having multiple calves per year, increasing the chances of producing a calf with greater genetic merit than the current generation.

This is the introduction to the 1992 book, "Living Laboratories: Women and Reproductive Technologies," by Robyn Rowland. Here, she describes reproductive technologies as inherently based on a male desire for domination and control of both women's reproductive capacity, and over nature itself. "In the process of trying to end their own alienation, men have made procreative alienation a reality for women, divorcing women from their wombs, eggs and embryos — from their own bodily selves and their sense of procreative continuity. They have made children products of the nexus between commerce, science and medicine, calling experimentation on women and human society ‘therapy' and camouflaging the intention to map and control human genetics with the rhetoric of ‘helping the infertile'. In this process women have become the experimental raw material in the masculine desire to control the creation of life; patriarchy's living laboratories."

Episode 9 – Assisted Reproductive Technology – Ethical Issues Involving In Vitro Fertilization and other Reproductive Technologies. In this episode, Dr. Allyson Robichaud, Cleveland State Philosophy Department Faculty, and Dr. Toni Nicoletti, Cleveland State Philosophy Department faculty, discuss the current state of in vitro fertilization and the uses to which reproductive technology have been put, focusing on some of the main ethical issues faced by physicians and patients, and the industry as a whole.

Baron Cornelius Ver Heyden de Lancey (1889-1984) was a wealthy and public-spirited Dutchman who at different times in his life was a dentist, doctor, surgeon, barrister and art historian. In 1970 he created the De Lancey and De La Hanty Foundation, to promote studies in medico-legal topics. The Foundation generously gave Cambridge the Ver Heyden de Lancey Fund, which since 1996 has funded occasional public lectures on medico-legal issues of current interest. The 2018 Baron Ver Heyden de Lancey Lecture on Medico-Legal Studies was delivered by Professor Glenn Cohen is a Professor of Law at Harvard University, on 9 March 2018, and was entitled "Parenthood Disrupted(?) Dilemmas of Reproductive Technologies". Glenn Cohen is a Professor of Law at Harvard University, and one of the world's leading experts on the intersection of bioethics and the law. His award-winning research has appeared in the top legal, ethical and medical journals, and he is regularly cited in national news media. He has authored and edited several books, including Patients with Passports, Specimen Science, and Identified versus Statistical Lives. Prior to receiving tenure at Harvard, he served as a law clerk on a U.S. federal Court of Appeals and as an appellate lawyer for the U.S. Department of Justice. In his spare time, he still litigates, most recently having authored amicus briefs for U.S. Supreme Court cases on the patentability of human genes and abortion rights.

What encouragement does God give to those who are the product of reproductive technology and feel like they were abandoned by a biological parent?

Villanova University Presents the 2017 Praxis Award in Professional Ethics.

In this interview, Dr. Katie Gentile discusses the research, writing and creative thinking about compulsory parenthood and Assisted Reproductive Technologies (or ARTs) that animate the essays appearing in The Business of Being Made: The Temporalities of Reproductive Technologies in Psychoanalysis and Culture (Routledge, 2015). It is striking that while personhood amendments proliferate and sovereignty over the reproductive body shifts frighteningly more and more to the State, a global, bio-medical industrial complex has arisen comprising ARTs, surrogate pregnancy, egg/sperm donation and the like. Gentile points out the rise of the post-9/11 fetishization of the fetus a receptacle for all our vulnerabilities which must be protected at all costs in the face of the hyper-object: the threat of global catastrophe looming large. ARTs and its associated industries manufacture hope and optimism in conceiving babies at any cost (for those of privilege) while serving to further elevate, protect and fetishize the fetus. It’s a space of repro-futurity in which life is constructed around achieving reproductive milestones. ARTs have become another neoliberal trope to imagine life without limits as they have been subsumed into ordinary medicine for all women. With ARTs there is often no space to acknowledge loss, shame, uncertainty and the sexual re-traumatization that often occur during the process. On the plus side, ARTs offer the promise and opportunity of biological parenthood to marginalized people (for example, trans men) resulting in diverse family configurations. Gentile asks can other spaces be nurtured so that babies are not the main focus of generativity, especially for women? How can we better theorize childfree lives of creativity that are not seen as displaced parenting but generativity for its own pleasure? Learn more about your ad choices.

It is striking that while personhood amendments proliferate and sovereignty over the reproductive body shifts frighteningly more and more to the State, a global, bio-medical industrial complex has arisen comprising ARTs, surrogate pregnancy, egg/sperm donation and the like. Gentile points out the rise of the post-9/11 fetishization of the fetus a receptacle for all our vulnerabilities which must be protected at all costs in the face of the hyper-object: the threat of global catastrophe looming large. ARTs and its associated industries manufacture hope and optimism in conceiving babies at any cost (for those of privilege) while serving to further elevate, protect and fetishize the fetus. It’s a space of repro-futurity in which life is constructed around achieving reproductive milestones. ARTs have become another neoliberal trope to imagine life without limits as they have been subsumed into ordinary medicine for all women. With ARTs there is often no space to acknowledge loss, shame, uncertainty and the sexual re-traumatization that often occur during the process. On the plus side, ARTs offer the promise and opportunity of biological parenthood to marginalized people (for example, trans men) resulting in diverse family configurations. Gentile asks can other spaces be nurtured so that babies are not the main focus of generativity, especially for women? How can we better theorize childfree lives of creativity that are not seen as displaced parenting but generativity for its own pleasure? Learn more about your ad choices.

Professor Eve-Marie Engels (Philosophy, University of Tübingen) Professor Martin Richards (Psychology, University of Cambridge) Chaired by Dr Vasanti Jadva (Psychology, University of Cambridge) Abstracts Prof Eve-Marie Engels: In Vitro Fertilization and its Long-Term Challenges For many people the primary purpose of the introduction of IVF was to alleviate infertility by assisted conception and to help couples to become parents. However, after its successful introduction IVF provided a range of further options, like preimplantation genetic diagnosis, embryonic stem cell research, and “social freezing”, the freezing of young women’s eggs with the option of thawing them for fertilisation in later life under more appropriate circumstances. All these techniques are bound up with a variety of ethical and social problems which have to be addressed. Prof Martin Richards: Ethical challenges in the use of reproductive donation The prime ethical issues in collaborative reproduction involving the use of donor insemination concern the relationships of the child with the intending parents and the donor. The historical development of arguments about the status of sperm donor offspring will be outlined and I will discuss contemporary ethical challenges in the use of donor sperm. About the Speakers Professor Eve-Marie Engels studied philosophy and biology in Bochum, Germany, where she also received her PhD. The topic of her doctoral dissertation was the problem of teleology in the philosophy of science, and she specialised in evolutionary epistemology. She held positions in Germany and the USA before taking on the first German chair for bioethics in Tübingen in 1996. She has published numerous articles and books on topics ranging from philosophy of science to applied ethics to Charles Darwin. She is a member of the International Centre for Ethics in the Sciences and Humanities which investigates the question of responsibility and applied ethics from an interdisciplinary perspective. From 2001 to 2011, she was spokeswoman of said centre. From 2004 to 2013, she was also spokeswoman of the graduate school "Bioethics" which was funded by the DFG (German Research Foundation). Prof Engels has also held various advisory positions for policy-makers such as memberships of the German Ethics Council (2001-2007) and the scientific advisory board of the Federal Office for Agriculture and Food (since 2014). Professor Martin Richards gained his PhD in Zoology at Cambridge, on maternal behaviour in the golden hamster. During his postdoctoral work at Harvard and Princeton, Prof Richards’ interests shifted towards maternal behaviour in our own species, and he returned to Cambridge to found what was to become the Centre for Family Research. Since his retirement from the Directorship of the Centre in 2005, he has continued a prolific and diverse research programme focussing on family life, on the meaning of ‘genetic connection’ in the context of alternative reproductive technologies, and most recently on the ethical issues surrounding research participation. In 2013 Prof Richards was invited to chair a Working Party at the Nuffield Council on Bioethics on 'Collecting, linking, use and exploitation of biological and health data: ethical issues'. He is Vice Chair of the UK Biobank Ethics and Governance Council and has previously served six years as a member of the Ethics and Law Committee of the Human Fertilization and Embryology Authority. Currently, Prof Richards is preparing the third in a three-part series of edited volumes on alternative reproductive technologies, entitled 'Regulating Reproductive Donation'.

The University of Cambridge Centre for Gender Studies in association with The Guardian Newspaper, kindly supported by Cambridge University Press, hosted 3 major international events at Kings Place in London where international experts engaged directly with the public on topics of gender and bio-medical advances of the 21st Century. The first of these events was entitled 'Making Babies in the 21st Century: The Rise of Reproductive Technologies' and featured Baroness Onora O'Neill, Moral and Political Philosopher; Professor Marcia Inhorn, William K. Lanman Jr Professor of Anthropology and International Affairs, Yale University; Professor Susan Golombok, Director, Centre for Family Research - Developmental Psychology, University of Cambridge; and Professor Carl Djerassi, Inventor of the modern day contraceptive pill and Emeritus Professor of Chemistry, Stanford University

New technologies have opened up new possibilities in the area of reproduction. Sarah Franklin, Professor of Sociology at the University of Cambridge discusses this from a sociological perspective in this episode of the Social Science Bites podcast. Social Science Bites is made in association with SAGE.

Kevin's guest is Fr John Breck, theologian of the OCA specializing in Scripture and ethics, and the topic is "Orthodox Bioethics: Contraception, Stem Cells, and Reproductive Technologies."

(February 2, 2011) Dr J traveled to the East Coast--fortunately she was able to avoid the snowstorms!--for a series of speaking engagements.  Here's her talk from Franciscan University in Steubenville, Ohio, to a sexual medical ethics class of nursing students about artificial reproductive technologies.

We will examine why infertility and its treatment are problematic, and why there should be regulation of this field. An explanation will be given of the technology, from 'simple' IVF to cloning. We will look at choices of treatment, and trace the history of regulation in this country, the passage of the 1990 Act, its effect on other countries, and the 2008 HFE Bill.

Warren kicks off the week by announcing his upcoming trip to Florida, which initiates a brainstorming session in which we try to avoid copyright infringement regarding the behaviour of drunken women at spring break and their boobs. Then in Pooh Corner, Luc asks what the world should do to compensate for the mistreatment of homosexuals during the holocaust. Says, our suggestion is likely to offend almost everyone, even though, contrary to Warren's first impression, we're NOT suggesting the rounding-up of anyone. The result really would be like Cape Cod, but with show tunes! If you want to support our idea, send us an email (maskedman@limitedappeal.net).
