The Right and Unfair Aspects of Artificial Womb Technology

Abstract

In this contribution, I will defend the view of AWT (artificial-womb technology) as free reproductive choice and argue that ectogenesis technology should become a morally acceptable option. The chapter is divided in two parts. In the first part, I shall point out arguments against and in favour, advantages and advantages, of AWT. In the second part, I shall show how artificial-womb can be seen as a technology that might be used also by women who are not infertile and for whom pregnancy is not a risk and a tool for partially ending the unequal division of reproductive labour.
