Assisted Reproduction, Discrimination and the Law examines this gap in UK law, with reference to EU law as appropriate, and argues that new conceptions of equality are necessary. Drawing from the literature on multidimensional and intersectional discrimination, it is argued that an intersectionality approach offers a more useful analytical framework to extend protection to those engaged in ART treatments. Drawing from Schiek's intersectional nodes model, the book critically examines two alternative interpretations of existing protected characteristics, namely: infertility as a disability, with reference to the social model of disability and the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities 2006; and redefining the boundaries of pregnancy and/or sex discrimination, with reference to attempts to extend associative discrimination to pregnancy. Comparisons are drawn with the US, where infertility has been recognised as a disability under the American's with Disabilities Act 1990 and as a pregnancy-related condition under the Pregnancy Discrimination Act 1978. A specific right to paid time off work to undergo treatment is also proposed, drawing comparisons with the US Family and Medical Leave Act 1993 and the existing UK work-family rights framework. It is argued that the reinterpretations of equality law and the rights proposed here are not only conceptually possible, but could practically be achieved with minor, but significant, amendments to existing legislation"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Pregnant women $x Legal status, laws, etc. $z Great Britain. 650 0 $a Human reproductive technology $x Law and legislation $z Great Britain. 650 0 $a Sex discrimination in employment $x Law and legislation $z Great Britain. 650 7 $a Human reproductive technology $x Law and legislation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00963266 650 7 $a Pregnant women $x Legal status, laws, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01075210 650 7 $a Sex discrimination in employment $x Law and legislation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01114415 651 7 $a Great Britain. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204623 776 08 $i Online version: $a Weldon-Johns, Michelle, $t Assisted reproduction, discrimination, and the law. $d Abingdon, Oxon ; New York, NY Routledge, 2020. $z 9780429465895 $w (DLC) 2019041328 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20210721015827.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=BFB7AA5C586511EA978CCE3397128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
