Abstract

Debate on whether ectogenesis is a morally desirable solution to gender inequality often starts by analyzing whether gender inequality has been caused by (i) reproductive differences between the sexes or (ii) social structures. I term these two sides the biological model and the social model. Without taking either side, this article contends that both models provide a fragile foundation for assessing the moral desirability of ectogenesis. I draw on Ronald Dworkin's luck egalitarian theory and Ron Amundson's perspective to demonstrate that both models are inherently interactionist and share the view that society's inadequate response to female reproductive traits is crucial in gender oppression. Actions on either biological or social factors are prima facie valid. Meanwhile, neither model can conclusively determine whether ectogenesis is morally desirable.

生殖与性别不平等:两条途径汇合。
关于体外生殖在道德上是否是性别不平等的理想解决方案的辩论,通常首先要分析性别不平等是由(i)两性之间的生殖差异还是(ii)社会结构造成的。我把这两个方面称为生物模型和社会模型。本文不偏袒任何一方,认为这两种模式都为评估生殖的道德可取性提供了一个脆弱的基础。我利用罗纳德·德沃金的运气平等主义理论和罗恩·阿蒙森的观点来证明这两种模型都是内在的互动主义,并且都认为社会对女性生殖特征的反应不足是性别压迫的关键。基于生物或社会因素的行动都是初步有效的。同时,这两个模型都不能最终确定体外生殖在道德上是否可取。

期刊介绍: As medical technology continues to develop, the subject of bioethics has an ever increasing practical relevance for all those working in philosophy, medicine, law, sociology, public policy, education and related fields. Bioethics provides a forum for well-argued articles on the ethical questions raised by current issues such as: international collaborative clinical research in developing countries; public health; infectious disease; AIDS; managed care; genomics and stem cell research. These questions are considered in relation to concrete ethical, legal and policy problems, or in terms of the fundamental concepts, principles and theories used in discussions of such problems. Bioethics also features regular Background Briefings on important current debates in the field. These feature articles provide excellent material for bioethics scholars, teachers and students alike.
