DESCRIPTION
Technologies at the intersection of reproductive medicine and genetics offer news ways of creating human life. These technologies make it possible to assemble, genetically screen, choose and, possibly, even design one?s future children. How can societies decide who may access these technologies to create which kinds of children? Which rights, whose rights and which public values should be taken into account within the regulation of this complex field? And what are the legal and ethical limits to these currently emerging forms of 'liberal eugenics'?
The general focus in this course will be on the role and meaning of human rights and human dignity for the regulation of assisted reproductive technologies.
