title: Reproductive freedom and the State.
abstract: This brief paper describes the experiences and attitudes of a UK Member of Parliament to the politics of reproductive biomedicine. It provides insights into how problems in this field strike politicians and governments, and their interactions with the press and the public. It takes examples of four topics which help to decide the attitudes of legislators in such complex ethical matters. It also reveals how they can change their opinions as they became familiar with the ethical issues raised under various situations.
