Advances in reproductive technology mean rethinking the meaning of autonomy | Science
The last few decades have seen the introduction of a variety of new reproductive technologies that have transformed the familiar processes of making babies. Initially offered as an approach to overcoming infertility in heterosexual couples, their methods and capabilities have expanded well beyond that to include the use of donor gametes, donor embryos, and surrogacy arrangements that may or may not use the intended parents’ gametes. Moreover, reproductive medicine is increasingly coupled to other diagnostic technologies that enable the characteristics of a fetus, especially those linked to disability, to be identified prenatally.
