FYS: Reproduction in the 21st Century: Biology and Politics AS.001.220 (01)
This First-Year Seminar course will explore biological and philosophical changes in 21st century childbearing conditions, and the relationship of emerging technology, politics and legislation to these changes. Among the topics to be discussed are the impact on male and female infertility of assisted reproductive technologies, including in vitro fertilization and intracytoplasmic sperm injection; how genetic technologies can be used to modify sperm, eggs and embryos and the associated risks, benefits, ethics and politics; how, when and whether stem cells obtained from in vitro fertilization “leftovers” can be used; whether abortion should be allowed, disallowed, or allowed only under particular circumstances such as when there are fetal anomalies or danger to the woman; old and new approaches to female and male contraception; and more. The ways in which these new approaches are perceived by the general public and by politicians, and how these perceptions affect the use of the new approaches, will be explored. Thus, in addition to the science, this First-Year Seminar will focus on when, how, and by whom decisions are made regarding reproduction.
