The early years of feminist bioethics were dominated by a focus on reproductive issues, which were seen as being of particular salience to women and an area of life within which women are commonly discriminated against and oppressed. The focus is understandable, not least because it is often easier for non-feminist bioethicists to see reproductive issues as “feminist” simply by virtue of the fact that both biologically and socially they tend to affect women more than men. It is important to realize, however, that the early work on abortion, surrogacy or assisted conception is identified as feminist not simply because it addressed issues that reflect women’s interests, but because a feminist framework brought a distinctive approach to the examination of reproductive medicine and assisted conception: distinctive not just in taking the experiential perspective of women rather than men, but analytically in having an eye to the structural and interpersonal power differentials that shape both the experience and the delivery of these technologies in many different societies and cultures across the globe. For example, several authors have critiqued the oversimplified dichotomization between the popular slogans “pro-life” and “pro-choice” in the abortion debate (Sherwin 2008; Tooley et al. 2009). A key insight of feminist bioethics is that, because women bear a disproportionate share of the associated risks and burdens, new reproductive technologies are not gender neutral, a fact frequently ignored in debates about the ethics of assisted reproduction.
