性与地球：选择生殖对全球有何影响（基础生物伦理学）

What if human reproduction was always elective? A prominent bioethicist speculates about the possibilities—and the likely consequences.

What would the world be like if all pregnancy was intended, not unintended as it is nearly half the time now? Considerably better, Margaret Pabst Battin suggests in Sex and the Planet, a provocative thought experiment with far-reaching real-world implications. Many of the world’s most vexing and seemingly intractable issues begin with sex—when sperm meets egg, as Battin puts it—abortion, adolescent pregnancy, high-risk pregnancy, sexual violence, population growth and decline. Rethinking reproductive rights and exposing our many mistaken assumptions about sex, Sex and the Planet offers an optimistic picture of how we might solve these problems—by drastically curtailing unintended pregnancies using currently available methods.

How we see this picture—as recommendation, prediction, utopian fantasy, totalitarian plot, hypothetical conjecture, or realistic solution—depends to a great degree on which of thirteen problematic assumptions we maintain, assumptions Battin works to identify and challenge. Taking on sensitive topics like abortion and rape and religious issues around contraception, she shows how a fully informed, nonideological approach could defuse much of the friction such issues tend to generate. Also, in her attention to male contraception and the asymmetry of female and male reproductive control, she pulls in the 50 percent of the human race—those with Y chromosomes—largely left out of discussions of reproductive health. Sex and the Planet, finally, takes a global view, inviting us to consider a possible—even plausible—reproductive future.

中文| 2024年5月28日|国际标准图书编号：0262547988 | 256页|真正的EPUB | 17.05 MB 如果人类的生殖总是选择性的呢？一位著名的生物伦理学家推测了这种可能性以及可能的后果。 如果所有的怀孕都是有意的，而不是像现在几乎一半的时间那样是无意的，世界会是什么样子？玛格丽特·帕布斯特·巴廷在《性与星球》一书中提出，情况要好得多，这是一个具有深远现实意义的挑衅性思想实验。世界上许多最棘手和看似棘手的问题都始于性——正如巴廷所说，当精子与卵子相遇时——堕胎、青少年怀孕、高危妊娠、性暴力、人口增长和下降。重新思考生殖权利，揭露我们对性、性与地球的许多错误假设，为我们如何解决这些问题提供了一幅乐观的图景——通过使用目前可用的方法大幅减少意外怀孕。 我们如何看待这幅图——作为推荐、预测、乌托邦幻想、极权主义情节、假设猜想或现实解决方案——在很大程度上取决于我们坚持的13个有问题的假设中，巴廷努力识别和挑战的是哪一个。她谈到了堕胎和强奸等敏感话题以及围绕避孕的宗教问题，展示了一种完全知情、非意识形态的方法如何化解这些问题往往产生的大部分摩擦。此外，在关注男性避孕以及女性和男性生殖控制的不对称性时，她引入了50%的人类——那些有Y染色体的人——在很大程度上被排除在生殖健康讨论之外。最后，《性与地球》从全球角度出发，邀请我们考虑一个可能的——甚至是合理的——生殖未来。
