Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
Sex, kinship and genes are no longer constant conceptions - and they never have been. Artificial reproduction and genetic engineering have changed the perceptions and definitions of the concepts of sex, kinship and genes dramatically: 1) Artificial reproductive technologies enable reproduction without sex. 2) Blood is no longer one of the most common bases of kinship. 3) The possibility of genetic engineering - or at least the attempts to manipulate the human egg - revises the hitherto existing understanding of heredity.
