The current issue of Contraception, published by the Association of Reproductive Health Professionals (ARHP), includes an article co-authored by Emily Galpern, project director at CGS's sister organization Generations Ahead. Her co-authors are Jessica Arons of the Center for American Progress, Lee Shulman of Northwestern University, and Jennifer Aulwes and Wayne Shields of ARHP.
"An Evolving Landscape: Reproductive Genetics, New Technologies and Health Care Over the Next Decade" recognizes that reproductive health, rights and justice have "become more complicated and dynamic than ever with the advent of new reproductive technologies." From its conclusion:
Those working within the progressive advocacy landscape are increasingly challenged to develop a nuanced understanding of the benefits and risks of reproductive genetics, and they will have the opportunity over the next several years to advocate for policies that promote reproductive well-being for all individuals and communities.
