Check the website here: http://enlites.com/ Dr. Teresa Baron is an Assistant Professor at Nottingham University working on reproductive ethics and philosophy of parenthood. She is the author of The Philosopher's Guide to Parenthood, Philosophy of the Family: Ethics, Identity and Responsibility (with Dr. Christopher Cowley), and The Artificial Womb on Trial. She is currently writing on the ethics of ectogenic research and editing a new Handbook of Philosophy and the Family for Routledge. In this episode, we focus on The Artificial Womb on Trial. We talk about what artificial womb technology is and the ethical questions it raises. We discuss arguments for and against developing this kind of technology. We discuss the Convergence Argument. We talk about trials with animals, partial and complete ectogenesis, and how it compares to technologies like in vitro fertilization and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) transfer. Finally, we discuss whether it would ever be ethical to bring children into the world for the purposes of research, and the ethics of procreation.--A HUGE THANK YOU TO MY PATRONS/SUPPORTERS: PER HELGE LARSEN, JERRY MULLER, BERNARDO SEIXAS, ADAM KESSEL, MATTHEW WHITINGBIRD, ARNAUD WOLFF, TIM HOLLOSY, HENRI
