The ethics of uterus transplants to 'transwomen'
The Royal Hospital for Women Foundation in Sydney recently held a fundraising event which featured doctors from the Hospital speaking of a successful uterine transplant to a woman they had performed in January 2023. When asked whether they would transplant a uterus to a transwoman (a biological man) to allow her to carry a child, they did not rule it out. Uterine transplants to biological men are another complex ethical issue raised in the context of reproductive technologies.

Putting Children at the Center of Family Policy
Our culture has shifted drastically, but children haven’t changed. In fact, they continue to be victimized by practices and policies that prioritize adult desires above children’s rights. It’s past time to start putting them at the center of our national conversation. That begins with clearly and courageously defending children’s rights by shaping culture, reforming law, and rethinking our approach to technology.

The Problems of Putting off Children
A vision of control based on ambition, education, and income has come to dominate professional-class perspectives on having children, but we should reject these mistaken cultural pressures and remember that truly abundant life is achieved through giving and receiving love.

No tener hijos, de opción a deber
La esterilización parece estar convirtiéndose en una opción planteable para asegurarse una existencia childfree. El miedo a perder la libertad, las dificultades económicas o la preocupación por el medioambiente son algunos de los motivos que se esgrimen para no tener hijos. Entre los childfree también se encuentran quienes no solo pelean para que su elección vital se respete, sino que intentan convencer de que su decisión es la moralmente correcta.

El feminismo redescubre la maternidad
La maternidad es la asignatura pendiente del feminismo, y voces diversas del movimiento por los derechos de la mujer están centrando la atención sobre las demandas de unas madres que han quedado abandonadas a una lógica mercantil que no valora los cuidados. Estas pensadoras promaternidad aseguran que la brecha de género es, en realidad, la brecha de la maternidad y reclaman que es necesaria una profunda transformación de la sociedad para que ponga en el centro a las familias y sus necesidades.

Father involvement in early child-rearing and behavioural outcomes in their pre-adolescent children
Psychological and emotional aspects of paternal involvement in children's early upbringing, particularly how new fathers see themselves as parents and adjust to the role, rather than the quantity of direct involvement in childcare, is associated with positive behavioural outcomes in children.

Tu inclusión perturba mi conciencia
La mera exposición de una postura distinta al aborto ante un embarazo conflictivo es cada vez menos tolerada en Francia. Este rechazo se ha puesto de manifiesto a raíz de la difusión en algunas televisiones de un vídeo sobre niños con síndrome de Down, cuya transmisión ha sido considerada “inapropiada” por el organismo regulador de la televisión. En estos días, el Consejo de Estado –el más alto tribunal administrativo– ha reconocido la validez de esta decisión.

Il figlio è mio e me lo faccio io
Se il femminismo spinto della prima ora, al grido “l’utero è mio e me lo gestisco io”, rivendicava l’aborto come conquista, oggi - che la cosiddetta “interruzione di gravidanza” è ormai ultradigerita - la musica è cambiata e suona così: “Il figlio è mio e me lo faccio da sola”. A raccontare la nuova e dilagante moda della maternità fai-da-te, ci pensa il settimanale “D” di Repubblica, che all’argomento sta dedicando un ampio dossier dal titolo Mammesingle.
