What is to reproduce? On the overlap, development, and persistence account of reproduction
- Abstract:
- Monika Piotrowska has defended a new account of reproduction. Her account seems able to answer the question of whether reproduction takes place, and who reproduces, when we employ biotechnologies that bear little to no resemblance to naturally occurring human sexual reproduction. Piotrowska's account also seems to increase our understanding of biological individuality and seems to be compatible with the theory of evolution via natural selection. In this paper, I do two things. First, I show that Piotrowska's account is found wanting, because it is extensionally inadequate. Second, I show that her criticism of James Grisemer's account of reproduction is mistaken.
