Philosophy Honours Scholarship on the Ethics of Artificial Wombs

This Scholarship provides financial assistance to Honours students undertaking research into the ethics of artificial wombs. The scholarship has been established as part of an ARC DECRA project led by Associate Professor Luara Ferracioli, which aims to assess the morality of ectogenesis, the process of gestating a foetus in an artificial womb. Expected outcomes of this research include theoretical resources for ethical decision-making in the face of core technological advances in assisted reproduction. The scholarship is awarded on the basis of academic merit and a 500-word personal statement detailing the applicant's interest in joining the project. Recipients must maintain a minimum Semester Average Mark (SAM) of 65 each semester to continue receiving the scholarship.
