Priority area

Reproduction, parenthood & families

We are building on our reputation in this area, examining emerging developments and technologies, confronting questions around health care access and exploring wider societal developments around family forms.

Why we are prioritising this area

There are several upcoming opportunities for us to shape policy, such as during the review of the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Act. This is likely to ignite discussions that will re-open some of the deep ethical questions around reproductive rights and responsibilities that have been less prominent in policy discourse in recent years.

The future

We use horizon scanning and foresight methods to anticipate where future developments in biomedicine and health have the potential to impact society.
