This interdisciplinary course explores the bioethical, biolegal and biopolitical dilemmas that are raised by technological developments at the intersection of reproductive medicine and genetics. This course will enable the student to critically reflect upon legal and ethical dimensions of current public debates on the regulation of assisted reproductive technologies. This course will teach the student to come to an understanding of the key concepts and categories within legal regulation of reproductive technologies, and to connect these with various normative ethical theories. Through an examination of the existing legal frameworks surrounding reproductive and genetic technologies from the perspectives of law and bioethics against the background of ongoing contemporary political and societal discussions, the student will be trained to integrate ethical reasoning, daily practices and legal rules and regulations into a normative evaluation of these technologies.
