Stephen Coleman, The Ethics of Artificial Uteruses: Implications for Reproduction and Abortion
Reproducing Persons: Issues in Feminist Bioethics
Case Study: The Baby in the Body
The case presented here involves an accident victim who is brain dead, unmarried, and 15 weeks pregnant. The woman's parents ask that she be removed from the ventilator and her body given to them for burial. The putative father of the fetus wants the medical team to attempt to maintain the woman on life-support until the fetus can be delivered with a good chance for survival. The questions presented to the commentators, Norman Fost and Laura Purd…
Why children shouldn't have equal rights
Why children still shouldn't have equal rights
A Feminist Medical Ethics
how our need to control things (and people), our sometime urge to lord it over others, our inclination, even, to boost ourselves at the expense of those who are down on their luck, our occasional wish (to push matters further) to get a kick or two out of those who are suffering long and hard, all have a bearing on how we behave-the thoughts we have, the things we say, the decisions we make.

Feminists Healing Ethics
The field of ethics is enjoying a much-needed renaissance. Traditional theories and approaches are appropriately coming under fire, although not every new idea will stand time's test. Feminist thinking suggests that we at least emphasize the importance of women and their interests, focus on issues specially affecting women, rethink fundamental assumptions, incorporate feminist insights and conclusions from other areas, and be consistent with resp…
Does Women's Liberation Imply Children's Liberation
Shulamith Firestone argues that for women to embrace equal rights without recognizing them for children is unjust. Protection of children is merely repressive control: they are infantilized by our treatment of them. I maintain that many children no longer get much protection, but neither are they being provided with an environment conducive to learning prudence or morality. Recognizing equal rights for children is likely to worsen this situation,…
