E-grāmata: Rethinking Reprogenetics: Enhancing Ethical Analyses of Reprogenetic Technologies

Rethinking Reprogenetics: Enhancing Ethical Analyses of Reprogenetic Technologies is a compact, rigorously argued volume that packs quite a punch. * Zahra Meghani, Kennedy Institute of Ethics Journal * In my opinion, the combination of [ the] different perspectives offered by [ Inmaculada de Melo-Martin] results in a more enriching analysis for the reader, since it puts on the table an ethical discussion of tensions in the applications and use of reprogenetics, while revealing the absence of the gender vision that reprogenetics advocates. These crossfertilizations between ethics, feminist theory, and science, technology, and society studies bring to light problems that are obscured by androcentric and technoptimistic visions of reprogenetics, especially given their dominance. * Natalia Fernįndez-Jimeno, Theoretical Medicine and Bioethics * Enthusiasts about emerging reprogenetic technologies tend to dismiss critics as irrational, religious, or reactionary. In this bold new book, Inmaculada de Melo-Martin offers a rational, secular, and progressive critique of reprogenetic enthusiasm. In particular, she argues for an approach that takes women's experience seriously, that takes the value-ladenness of technologies seriously, and that questions the assumption that more technological choices mean more genuine flourishing." - Erik Parens, The Hastings Center This is a book I have long been wishing for, a book that directly confronts the "enthusiasts" (especially Julian Savulescu and John Harris) regarding reproductive genetic technologies and offers a sober, nuanced response, one that highlights important gendered and societal aspects of the debate * Sara Goering, Hypatia Reviews Online * Rethinking Reprogenetics by Immaculada de Melo-Martin has at its heart a desire to spark discussion about the foundations of our right to reproduce. While many of the arguments are familiar in feminist ethics, de Melo-Martin's text is a useful addition in that she is focusing on the development and application of genetic techonology towards reproductive ends. * Constance K. Perry, International Journal of Feminist Approaches to Bioethics *
