VAST 238 - Human Reproductive Technology

Institution:

Lafayette College

Subject:

Description:

The ability to control and assist reproduction has raised new issues concerning the creation of life and the rights and responsibilities of potential parents and children, as well as medical personnel and policy makers. Scientific, social, ethical, legal, and political dimensions of reproductive technologies are examined. Development of new technologies provides new opportunities to explore existing moral and legal questions (eugenics, attitudes and disabilities, and definitions of the family, for example) as well as raise new questions to address.
