In the UK, the intellectual basis of legal framework governing the creation, use and storage of in vitro embryos for reproduction and research has not been revisited for over thirty years. This book explores the reasons behind this 'legal stasis', and considers ways in which we can move beyond it.
"Since then, the embryo in vitro, born from an assemblage of biological and technological matters, has generated complex ontological and moral questions for the law. As medical science marches forward, commonly held constructions of the embryo are becoming increasingly problematic. The physical contexts in which the embryo can exist are growing and changing, as are its possible teleologies.2 The politics of fertility have been extended to new heights3 with the harnessing, control and enhancement of reproductive genetic procedures in the biotechnology industry. ''The embryo'' - and the legal, moral and social connotations surrounding it - is not the same ''embryo'' it was over 30 years ago"--
