- Abstract:
- (Producer) The hyper-anxiety over alternative reproductive innovations that only two decades ago seemed to grip the popular imagination has for the most part abated. Such innovations nevertheless continue to disrupt and reshape ostensibly natural, thus normative, kinship arrangements as well as the legal reasoning that keep them in place. This talk takes the recent ruling of a New Jersey court on yet another surrogacy agreement gone awry as a point of departure to consider the nature of on-going legal quandaries when new life forms and new forms of life fail to align.
