The Embryo Research Debate: Science and the Politics of Reproduction ( Cultural Social Studies)

This book pres a nontechnical account of the debate concerning human embryo research, concentrating on the British parliamentary debates of 1984-1990. It traces the debates' origins back to conflicts over abortion and moral reform in the 1960s, and examines reactions in the 1990s to sex selection and the use of eggs from human fetuses for research. Michael Mulkay shows howembryo research develops within a complex social environment, writing for anyone interested in the relationship between science-based assisted reproduction and society.Scientific research involving human embryos was a major topic of public debate in Britain during the 1980s. Despite strong support from the scientific community,embryo research was initially condemned by many ordinary people as well as by special interest groups, and came close to being banned by Act of Parliament. Michael Mulkay describes the dynamics of the parliamentary struggle over the future of embryo research, focusing on such issues as: the clash between the anti-abortion and pro-research lobbies; the tactics of the Government; political ideology; the media's role; the importance of gender; religion; the impact of science fiction; the lure of medical advance; and the difficulty of maintaining ethical control. He explains how the advocates ofembryo research eventually triumphed, and ends with an examination of the cultural tensions which linger after the debate.
