The insights of Durham's @ecromanis.bsky.social have featured in The Guardian, in a piece which explores partial ectogestation. As a leading researcher in reproduction and the law, Chloe’s work continues to shape vital conversations around reproductive regulation. Read more: bit.ly/4nU0ypi
I am delighted to see this great piece in the Guardian about developments in partial ectogestation - www.theguardian.com/world/2025/n... - and glad to have had the opportunity to contribute some of the insights from my work over the last 8 years @durham.ac.uk
This machine could keep a baby alive outside the womb. How will the world decide to use it?
For parents who have buried infants born too soon, a device like the AquaWomb is a miracle in waiting – and an impossible choice

Human trials of artificial wombs could start soon. Here’s what you need to know
US regulators will consider clinical trials of a system that mimics the womb, which could reduce deaths and disability for babies born extremely preterm.

This. It is not for the law to define a person's sexuality.
The SC ruling takes it upon itself to stipulate that a 'lesbian' “must be a [AFAB] female who is sexually oriented towards (or attracted to) [AFAB] females”. So if you don't have sex, you cannot call yourself a lesbian? No court has any business policing anyone's identity or relationship.

I was delighted to contribute a chapter to this book - 'Defining & Understanding 'Health' in Health Law'. The ch does not offer a definition for 'health', and instead reflects on some parameters regarding how *not* to define health - focussing on the need to avoid defining it in relation to 'norms'.
