The latest episode of FAB Gab has landed! In episode 10, Kate Mason and Kate MacKay discuss Early Motherhood Bioethics, and whether mothers should always bear primary or sole responsibility as caregivers to their newborns.
Here’s a sneak peak of the conversation:
‘But, you know, really, most importantly, there’s this social concept, that women who have just given birth are naturally the best caregivers for their newborn babies, and that they naturally should want to care for that baby, to the exclusion of absolutely everything else… But I argue that there’s, there’s a special nature to this assumption in the newborn period, where if a woman for example, does not want to be caring for her week-old baby, we think there’s something very terribly wrong with her.’
