Drawing on Public Responses to Ectogenesis to Understand ItsSocietal Impact

体外受精是一项具有社会颠覆性的新技术，它围绕社会反应和长期社会影响提出了令人兴奋和尚未探索的问题。因此，我的研究旨在确定和了解哪些科学、社会和倡导团体对体外生殖感兴趣，以及他们如何理解和看待这项技术。它还试图了解在考虑这种技术的传播、实施和可及性时的社会经济因素。最后，探索参与性场景，通过各种媒介向参与者传达的可能未来的简单描述，告诉我们这项技术的潜在接受程度。这项研究的目的是通过将其方法从女性主义的角度出发，而不是从迄今为止主导该领域的生物伦理学和道德哲学的角度出发，填补社会反应的生殖研究中的知识空白。本研究中收集的社会反应数据有许多可能的应用，包括为未来的法律和政府政策提供信息，在实施这种具有社会破坏性的技术之前，突出潜在的社会经济不平等，并在现代背景下扩展女权主义科技学者firestone和Haraway的基础工作。

A new and socially disruptive technology ectogenesis, the gestationof a fetus outside the human body, poses exciting and unexploredquestions around social response and long-term societal impact. Assuch my research seeks to identify and understand which scientific,social, and advocacy groups have interests in ectogenesis and howthey understand and perceive the technology. It also seeks tounderstand the socio-economic considerations when looking atcommunication, implementation and accessibility to such technology.And finally, to explore what participatory scenarios, simpledescriptions of possible futures communicated to participants throughvarious mediums, tell us about the potential reception of thistechnology. The intent of this research would be to fill a knowledgegap within ectogenesis research on social response by centring itsapproach from a feminist approach, rather than the bioethics andmoral philosophical lens that has dominated the field to this point.The social response data gathered in this study has many possibleapplications including informing future legal and governmentalpolicies, highlighting potential socio-economic inequalities in advanceof implementing this socially disruptive technology and expanding onthe foundational work of Feminist Science and Technology scholarsFirestone and Haraway in a modern context.
