Conceiving Parenthood

Exploring the intersection of reproductive bioethics and mainstream Protestantism, the book examines how historical views on family and procreation have shaped contemporary debates on genetic manipulation and designer babies. Through an analysis of media images from the twentieth century, the author reveals a troubling complicity in promoting a culture of selective parenthood, which marginalizes diverse family structures. The work aims to provoke thoughtful discussions within faith communities, encouraging inclusive perspectives on parenthood that embrace all families and children.
