Drawing on Public Responses to Ectogenesis to Understand ItsSocietal Impact

体外受精是一项新的社会颠覆性技术，即在人体外孕育胎儿，它提出了令人兴奋的、尚未探索的社会反应和长期社会影响问题。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感知这项技术。它还试图理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，探索通过各种媒介向参与者传达的参与性情景，对可能的未来的简单描述，告诉我们这种技术的潜在接受情况。本研究的目的是填补外生殖研究中关于社会反应的知识空白，方法是从女权主义的角度出发，而不是从生物伦理学和道德哲学的透镜来主导这一领域。本研究中收集的社会反应数据有许多可能的应用，包括为未来的法律的和政府政策提供信息，强调潜在的社会经济不平等，以推进实施这种社会破坏性技术，并在现代背景下扩大女权主义科学和技术的基础工作。

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.
