摘要

Definition of the problem

The concept of intersectionality is receiving increasing attention in international bioethical research on reproductive medicine. In medical ethics in German-speaking countries, however, intersectional considerations on reproductive medicine are still at their beginning; there is an obvious research desideratum here. This harbours the risk of incomplete analyses regarding questions of reproductive justice in German-speaking countries.

Argument

Intersectionality refers to the problem of who is addressed as a reproductive subject in the debates on the ethics of reproductive medicine—and who is not. In this context, the question arises as to which ideas of good life and appropriate timing with regard to reproduction are set as the norm in medical ethics literature. Whose ideas of the good life are excluded by not being addressed or even devalued? This article will present examples of previous considerations on intersectional perspectives on the ethics of reproductive medicine with a focus on questions of the good life and reproductive justice.

Conclusion

It will be shown that by drawing on intersectional perspectives, debates in the ethics of reproductive medicine and their central background assumptions can be critically reflected upon. In this way, previous blind spots are made visible and new perspectives are revealed.
