Should technology have a role in human reproduction? This is the basic question tackled by Oliver O'Donovan's book Begotten or Made?, one of the 20th century's most important works of medical ethics, and recently republished by the Davenant Press. This week, our co-hosts begin a walkthrough of the book, unpacking its riches. They discuss definitions of begetting vs. making, the category of "appropriateness" in ethics, and more.
