Genetic sex and uterine donation? Re-examining the Montreal Criteria for the Ethical Feasibility of Uterine Transplantation

该项目旨在通过以下方式对蒙特利尔子宫移植伦理可行性标准中的“遗传性别”进行批判性的重新评估：1)回顾已发表的支持和反对使用遗传性别作为子宫移植受者的关键标准的伦理论点；2)探索英国女性对子宫移植受者的遗传性别表达的考虑、态度和道德关切；3)调查英国女性对遗传性别在子宫移植伦理中的重要性的态度：可接受性的认知是否会因假想受者的遗传性别而异？该项目希望平衡理论上的论点和相互冲突的现实世界的观点，并引起对社会背景的关注，同时允许产生与政策相关的伦理建议。它可能说明关于遗传性和变性人权利的文化关切，包括对妇女/母亲的定义和新的医疗技术/辅助生殖技术的焦虑。

This project aims to critically re-assess "genetic sex" in the Montreal Criteria for theEthical Feasibility of Uterine Transplantation through: 1) reviewing published ethicalarguments for and against the use of genetic sex as a key criterion for recipients ofuterine transplantation; 2) exploring the considerations, attitudes and moral concernsexpressed by UK women around the genetic sex of uterine transplant recipients; 3)surveying attitudes of UK females regarding the importance of genetic sex in the ethicsof uterine transplantation: do perceptions of acceptability vary depending upon thegenetic sex of the hypothetical recipient? The project hopes to balance theoreticalarguments with conflicting real world viewpoints and bring attention to social context,while allowing policy-relevant ethical recommendations to be generated. It mayillustrate cultural concerns around genetic sex and transgender rights, includinganxieties over definitions of womanhood/motherhood and new medicaltechniques/assisted reproductive technologies.
