This course will explore ethical, human rights, and policy issues related to the provision of reproductive health care using an interdisciplinary perspective. It will examine the requirements of reproductive justice and evolving views over time of the obligations of governments to provide reproductive health services to all women and men. The course will assess the ethical implications of the use of a variety of assisted reproductive technologies, both current and developing technologies, including the genetic screening of embryos, egg donation and payment, sex selection, mitochondrial replacement, and gene editing. The course will also address legal issues related to the regulation of various forms of reproductive health status and pregnancy termination. Course materials will expose students to a variety of perspectives on these topics. We will also track and discuss current politics controversies and policies related to these issues.
