Uterine transplantation: a step too far?Jeanette Foley - 2012 - Clinical Ethics 7 (4):193-198.details The options currently available to women with uterine infertility are adoption or surrogacy. Recently the option of uterine transplantation has been explored which would allow a woman to carry her own genetically related child. Although this type of transplant raises similar ethical considerations to other types of non-life-saving organ transplantation, such as facial tissue and limb, it also raises its own very unique considerations. In this paper, some of the considerations surrounding uterine transplantation, such as informed consent and an individual's (...) Download Export citation Bookmark 1 citation
Just another reproductive technology? The ethics of human reproductive cloning as an experimental medical procedure.D. Elsner - 2006 - Journal of Medical Ethics 32 (10):596-600.details Human reproductive cloning has not yet resulted in any live births. There has been widespread condemnation of the practice in both the scientific world and the public sphere, and many countries explicitly outlaw the practice. Concerns about the procedure range from uncertainties about its physical safety to questions about the psychological well-being of clones. Yet, key aspects such as the philosophical implications of harm to future entities and a comparison with established reproductive technologies such as in vitro fertilisation are often (...)

(1 other version)Law and medical ethics.J. K. Mason - 2002 - London: LexisNexis UK. Edited by Alexander McCall Smith & G. T. Laurie.details This new edition of Law and Medical Ethics continues to chart the ever-widening field that the topics cover. The interplay between the health caring professions and the public during the period intervening since the last edition has, perhaps, been mainly dominated by wide-ranging changes in the administration of the National Health Service and of the professions themselves but these have been paralleled by important developments in medical jurisprudence.

The beginning of human life: Islamic bioethical perspectives.Mohammed Ghaly - 2012 - Zygon 47 (1):175-213.details Abstract. In January 1985, about 80 Muslim religious scholars and biomedical scientists gathered in a symposium held in Kuwait to discuss the broad question “When does human life begin?” This article argues that this symposium is one of the milestones in the field of contemporary Islamic bioethics and independent legal reasoning (Ijtihād). The proceedings of the symposium, however, escaped the attention of academic researchers. This article is meant to fill in this research lacuna by analyzing the proceedings of this symposium, (...)

Would you rather be a 'birth' or a 'genetic' mother? If so, how much?J. G. Thornton, H. M. McNamara & I. A. Montague - 1994 - Journal of Medical Ethics 20 (2):87-92.details Judges face difficult choices when the birth and genetic mothers of a child are separate people who dispute maternal access; the views of the general population may help them. Fifty women were asked whether, if they were infertile and could have only one child, they would prefer to be birth mothers (to carry a baby which was not genetically theirs) or genetic mothers (to have another woman carry their genetic baby). Similarly, fifty men were asked about their preference for a (...) Download Export citation Bookmark 4 citations
