Daniela Cutas

Institution/Department: Department of Philosophy
Previous studies: Union Graduate College – Mount Sinai School of Medicine (Schenectady, New York); Vilnius University, Lithuania; National School of Political Studies and Public Administration, Romania; University of Manchester, United Kingdom; University of Bucharest, Romania
Thesis: ”Public Policies for Bioethics: From Medically Assisted Human Reproduction to Human Genetic Engineering and Back”
Research areas: Practical Philosophy, in particular: the ethics of reproduction and reproductive technologies, the ethics of immortality, morality policy
Current research: Currently I am undertaking research in the field of reproductive ethics. I am interested in the ethics of the ethics and regulation of natural and assisted reproduction and parenting and the ethical implications of various practices or prospects (such as preimplantation and prenatal diagnosis, human cloning, post-menopausal motherhood, alternative family structures). I am exploring possible ways to improve the outcomes of parenting and empower people who can parent naturally to make responsible parenting decisions, and I argue in favour of the decrease of the tolerance of abuse, neglect and
incompetence in natural families, as well as of the intolerance to assisted reproduction and parenting, and non-traditional family structures.
