This machine could keep a baby alive outside the womb. How will the world decide to use it?

For parents who have buried infants born too soon, a device like the AquaWomb is a miracle in waiting – and an impossible choice

all the time, like @ecromanis.bsky.social; this isn't SciFic, as @maxkozlov.bsky.social wrote, it's a work in progress www.nature.com/articles/d41... 5/n

Human trials of artificial wombs could start soon. Here’s what you need to know

US regulators will consider clinical trials of a system that mimics the womb, which could reduce deaths and disability for babies born extremely preterm.

This. It is not for the law to define a person's sexuality.

Dr Matilda Fitzmaurice@matildaf.bsky.social · last yr.

The SC ruling takes it upon itself to stipulate that a 'lesbian' “must be a [AFAB] female who is sexually oriented towards (or attracted to) [AFAB] females”. So if you don't have sex, you cannot call yourself a lesbian? No court has any business policing anyone's identity or relationship.

Excited to share my latest paper 'Mens Pregnancies and Nonbinary Pregnancies in The Law: Ontic Injustice and/or Invisibilization' just published #openaccess in Alternatives: Local, Global, and Political. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

I recorded a podcast for the IJFAB Blog talking about this paper: utppublishing.com/doi/abs/10.3...

Locating Abortion and Contraception on the Obstetric Violence Continuum | International Journal of Feminist Approaches to Bioethics

This article builds on existing feminist literature on obstetric violence in the context of childbirth to argue that there is a continuum of obstetric violence that also includes that perpetuated in relation to pregnancy prevention and termination, as well as antenatal healthcare and birth. This structural violence is highlighted in relation to conscientious objection, the reporting of people suspected of illegal abortions by their healthcare providers, and contraceptive coercion. Recognizing the limitations of criminal and human rights approaches to obstetric violence, this article takes Martha Fineman’s vulnerability theory as the foundation for the transformative structural change of healthcare institutions.

Fresh off the press for those interested in looking at Health Law from a different perspective. Chapter on assisted reproduction by myself, Phillip Bremner and Cynthia Mbugua. Wonderful editorship from @jonathanherring.bsky.social @ecromanis.bsky.social and Sabrina Germain

Happy Friday to me!!! I just got my hands on this amazing edited collection 😍 Congrats to @ecromanis.bsky.social and everyone who contributed to developing this important resource ♥️ cannot wait to draw from it in my teaching and research 🙌🏻

I was delighted to contribute a chapter to this book - 'Defining & Understanding 'Health' in Health Law'. The ch does not offer a definition for 'health', and instead reflects on some parameters regarding how *not* to define health - focussing on the need to avoid defining it in relation to 'norms'.
