Abstract

Voilà plus de 30 ans que l'on congèle sperme, ovocytes, embryons humains. Des CECOS (Centre d'études et de conservation des oeufs et du sperme humain) ont été créés pour cela. Leur mise en place, leurs questionnements éthiques, les valeurs qu'ils veulent ou non promouvoir (gratuité, anonymat), illustrent le fort impact de la médicalisation de notre société. Les gamètes détachés du corps permettent d'espérer une paternité/maternité ultérieure, et en cas de cancer un tel espoir peut contribuer à la volonté de guérir, mais suscitent également des fantasmes de maîtrise, voire d'immortalité. L'ouvrage donne la parole aux acteurs de la première génération de CECOS et prend acte des grands défis issus de ces mutations de la société au contact des biotechnologies.

Abstract

What do two nice Jewish girls do when they want to start a family? They can marry two nice Jewish boys, or, if they happen to be lesbians, they can buy sperm online from California! Buying Dad is a hilarious, edgy, first-person chronicle of a year in the life of a woman engaged in a very alternative family-planning experience. Peeling back the layers of self-indulgence accumulated in 30-odd years as a self-proclaimed gay, childless, albeit happy neurotic, Harlyn Aizley takes the reader on one of the most personal, intimate and utterly female journeys any woman, gay or straight, can make-that of becoming a mother. Aizley's story begins with the search for sperm-known or unknown donor? Delivered on dry ice or in a nitrogen tank? The journey unfolds within the context of her relationship with her female partner, her mother's cancer diagnosis, the threat of her own possible infertility and finally pregnancy itself. Aizley's wry voice and candid prose embrace this confluence of major life events with the humor and wisdom that make Buying Dad accessible to any woman who ever considered ending a lifetime of sleep-filled nights by beginning a lifetime of motherhood.

Abstract

"This book is a comprehensive study of the ethics of killing in cases in which the metaphysical or moral status of the individual killed is uncertain or controversial. Among the beings whose status is questionable or marginal in this way are human embryos and fetuses, neonates, animals, anencephalic infants, human beings with severe, congenital, cognitive impairments, and human beings who have become severely demented or irreversibly comatose." "In an attempt to understand the moral status of these beings, Jeff McMahan develops and defends distinctive accounts of the nature of personal identity, the evaluation of death, and the wrongness of killing. He contends that the morality of killing is not unitary; rather, the principles that determine the morality of killing in marginal cases are different from those that govern the killing of persons who are self-conscious and rational."--Jacket.
