Our conceptions of birth reflect and influence our view of the world and of human beings. This conference addresses some of the assumptions that are embedded\, often unrecognised\, in current cultural practices around childbirth. Our guiding questions and the resulting arguments engage current debates around childbirth and beyond. Rethinking our origin is our way of constructing a genealogy\, a &lsquo\;logos of the genos&rsquo\; in a literal sense.
\nResearch in the Philosophy of Birth is closely linked to innovation and knowledge exchange and touches critical topics as surrogacy\, consent\, medical treatments or autonomy.
