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.
