Dimond and Stephens track the intense period of scientific and ethical review, public consultation and parliamentary debates preceeding the decision. They draw on stakeholder accounts and public documents to explore how patients, professionals, institutions and publics mobilised within ‘for’ and ‘against’ clusters, engaging in extensive promissory, emotional, bureaucratic, ethical, embodied and clinical labour to justify competing visions of an ethical future. They describe how this decision is the latest iteration of a UK sociotechnical imaginary in which the further liberalization of human embryo research and use is rendered legitimate and ethical through modes of consultation and permissive but strictly regulated licensing. Overall, this book presents a timely, multi-dimensional, and sociological account of a globally significant landmark in the history of human genetics, and will be relevant to those with an interest in genetics, Science, Technology and Society, the sociology of medicine, | 出版日期 | Book 2018 | 关键词 | reproductive technology; genetic technology; biopolitics; socio-legal studies; Mitochondrial donation; Sc | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-74645-6 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-319-74645-6 | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s) 2018 |
