30Framing gestation: assistance, delegation, and beyondJournal of Medical Ethics 48 (7): 448-449. 2022.Assisted conception can be distinguished from assisted gestation.1 These processes have tended to be grouped together under the generic term assisted reproductive technology in the bioethical literature.

This is because gestation carries unique ethico-legal implications …Read more
