Welcome to the fertility clinic of the future! Using speculative design to explore the moral landscape of reproductive technologies

W. Willems, A. Heltzel, et al.

This fascinating study by W. Willems, A. Heltzel, J. Nabuurs, J. Broerse, and F. Kupper delves into public perspectives on the implications of emerging reproductive technologies through a speculative design exhibition. Engaging with themes such as rights of the unborn and access equality, the research calls for diverse voices in shaping the future of these technologies.

Abstract
This study uses speculative design to explore public views on the social and moral implications of emerging reproductive technologies. A speculative design exhibition, 'Reproductopia,' presented various scenarios (artificial womb, in vitro gametogenesis, gene editing). Six themes emerged: the rights of the unborn; access and equality; social implications of individual choices; society as a community; ecology; and the value of wonder. The study highlights the need for broader, more diverse participation in shaping the future of reproductive technologies.
