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

本项目旨在通过以下方式批判性地重新评估《蒙特利尔子宫移植伦理可行性标准》中的“遗传性别”：1)回顾已发表的支持和反对将遗传性别作为子宫移植接受者的关键标准的伦理论点；2)探讨英国女性对子宫移植受者基因性别的考虑、态度和道德关切；3)调查英国女性对子宫移植伦理中基因性别重要性的态度：对可接受性的看法是否因假设接受者的基因性别而异？该项目希望平衡理论争论与现实世界观点的冲突，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。它可能说明了对基因性别和跨性别权利的文化关注，包括对女性/母亲身份和新医疗技术/辅助生殖技术的定义的焦虑。

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.
