Reviews

""Procreative Responsibility and Assisted Reproductive Technologies examines the whole gamut of new technologies related to reproduction, including in vitro gametogenesis, artificial wombs, and genome editing. Surprisingly, and I think correctly, Battisti argues that some of these, such as genome editing and artificial wombs, will create new and more demanding obligations and responsibilities for parents. This is a tour de force in reproductive ethics: comprehensive, deep, carefully argued, balanced, and challenging. It is a must-read for those entering these debates and for old soldiers who will discover new perspectives."" Julian Savulescu, Chen Su Lan Centennial Professor in Medical Ethics and Director of the Centre for Biomedical Ethics at National University of Singapore
