CfP: Human Reproduction and Parental Responsibility: New Theories, Narratives, Ethics https://journals.fupress.net/call-for-paper/human-reproduction-and-parental-responsibility-new- theories-narratives-ethics/ Phenomenology and Mind invites submissions for a special issue dedicated to “Human Reproduction and Parental Responsibility: New Theories, Narratives, Ethics”. We welcome contributions that are related – but not limited – to the following questions:  How do conceptions and cultural representations of parental responsibility inform bioethical, legal and political approaches towards the introduction and use of reproductive technologies?  Conversely, to what extent have new reproductive technologies been altering the concepts of parenthood and parental responsibility?  What are the emergent transformations and moral challenges associated with new forms of parenting?  How can artistic practice create a space for political and bioethical reflection, and what is the role of specific forms, genres and media (e.g. performance and video art; Science Fiction; life writing etc).  How have stories about parents and children evolved? How will they evolve in the future?  What is the impact of advanced reproductive technologies on legal and philosophical debates about biological and social parenthood, gender, and the rights of the unborn?  How do planetary environmental pressures affect theories and narratives of parenthood? What is the meaning of procreative liberty, parental responsibility and procreative beneficence on a warming planet?
