Making eggs and sperm in the lab: 21st century bioethics and the rise of new reproductive futures

Organized by CRSHE Directors Hannah Landecker and Amander Clark, CRSHE members Robbin Jeffries Hein and Isaias Roberson, and French collaborators Anne Le Goff and Noémie Merleau-Ponty, this workshop will explore the science and ethics of in vitro gametogenesis (IVG), that is, the production of eggs and sperm from stem cells in the laboratory. Bringing together leading life and social scientists from six countries, it will provide a unique interdisciplinary forum to address the challenges of anticipating IVG.  

This workshop is the result of an NIH-funded CRSHE interdisciplinary project on IVG. It is made possible by a grant from the Swiss Brocher Foundation.
