The project investigates the uses of epigenetic science in scientific, policy and public understandings of pregnancy and parenting to illuminate the roles that scientific evidence plays in the moralisation of procreation. The translation of epigenetics into bioethics, law and policy may have significant implications. It may make pregnancy more intensely individualised and moralised: it could be used to impose additional responsibilities on prospective parents and pregnant people. Conversely, it may foster recognition of biological plasticity, including a sense of pregnancy as a social phenomenon, responsibility for which is distributed and shared. In this paper, I discuss some of the ways we have approached these issues in our project. <br></div></div></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="e2ma-block-outer" id="block_pqmsizng" width="100%" style="font-variant-caps: normal; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"><tbody><tr><td class="e2ma-wrapper e2ma-image-td" valign="top" style="padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.5;"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%" style="font-size: 12px;"><tbody><tr><td class="e2ma-holder" valign="top" style="padding: 10px 40px 5px;"><div class="e2ma-content-block"><h4 style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-width: inherit; font-size: 16px; line-height: inherit; font-size-adjust: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-variant-alternates: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-position: inherit; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; color: rgb(230, 70, 38);"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">When</span></h4><div class="e2ma-p-div" style="font-size: 14px; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); margin-bottom: 10px; line-height: 1.5;">18th September 2025<br>12:00–1:00 PM<br></div><h4 style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-width: inherit; font-size: 16px; line-height: inherit; font-size-adjust: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-variant-alternates: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-position: inherit; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; color: rgb(230, 70, 38);"><span class="e2ma-style" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Where</span></h4><div class="e2ma-p-div" style="font-size: 14px; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); margin-bottom: 10px; line-height: 1.5;">A27, Dean’s Boardroom/Conference Room<br>Level 2 (Main Entrance from Fisher Road, immediate left after you enter).<br>Joining online?
