Science and technology is a synonym for progress. It is always considered a step forward, an improvement of our lives, a promise of new possibilities. A promise of a future that will necessarily contain more and better science and technology to make our lives ever more convenient, ever more automated, ever more under our control.
For women, many of us are conditioned to welcome scientific and technological advancements as a form of liberation from our sexed bodies and its processes. Medicine, machines and technicians preside over our whole reproductive lives - and we don’t always consider who or what drives the science, who benefits from these advancements, and what might be lost - as tech invades the most intimate parts of our human selves.
In this episode Elle is joined by Mary Lou Singleton, a life-long women’s health activist, midwife and public speaker, who has spent her career observing the very heady evolution of the reproductive industry and gauging where humanity is headed within the realm of conception, pregnancy, birth and motherhood.
