  • First Online:
Emergent Medicine and the Law

Abstract

This chapter sets out the science of reproduction and the developments in forms of assisted reproduction. It also explains forms of manipulation of gametes in practices such as gene editing. It looks forward to the possibility of ectogenesis. For each of these it explores challenges to the traditional legal regulation, in particular over the definitions of parenthood and the status of the fetus. It considers the challenges posed to legal regulation of reproduction now that it can involve more than simply creating a child and can include changing their biological make-up.
