Families – Beyond the Nuclear Ideal de Dr. Daniela Cutas

Families – Beyond the Nuclear Ideal: Science Ethics and Society

Editat de Dr. Daniela Cutas, Dr Sarah Chan
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 21 noi 2012
This book is available as open access through the Bloomsbury Open Access programme and is available on www.bloomsburycollections.com.This book examines, through a multi-disciplinary lens, the possibilities offered by relationships and family forms that challenge the nuclear family ideal, and some of the arguments that recommend or disqualify these as legitimate units in our societies.That children should be conceived naturally, born to and raised by their two young, heterosexual, married to each other, genetic parents; that this relationship between parents is also the ideal relationship between romantic or sexual partners; and that romance and sexual intimacy ought to be at the core of our closest personal relationships - all these elements converge towards the ideal of the nuclear family.The authors consider a range of relationship and family structures that depart from this ideal: polyamory and polygamy, single and polyparenting, parenting by gay and lesbian couples, as well as families created through assisted human reproduction.

Recenzii

Families: Beyond the nuclear ideal discusses various 'alternative' family forms in Western societies...the coverage of the book is impressive - it encompasses families with more than two parents, families with children conceived through donor insemination and surrogacy, families with lesbian and single heterosexual mothers, polygamous and polyamorous families, and families that may emerge in the future as a result of human cloning...the publication will certainly be useful to those readers who would like to expand their 'everyday' understanding of 'non-traditional families by looking at what ethics, philosophy and law have to say about them.
Families: Beyond the Nuclear Ideal is a volume with many challenging ideas on the current ethical and legal grounds of family foundation and partnership. Although provocative to some, the thesis that current changes and variations in family structures, partly instigated by development in reproductive technologies, call for a reassessment of current legal and ethical thinking, stand. As such, it is a 'must read' for all those interested in the ethics, sociology and law of reproduction, parenting and child rearing.

Descriere

This book discusses the theory that alternative relationship and family structures challenge the privileged status of the nuclear family as the preferable mode of family life for all, and the one to be endorsed and encouraged by society.
