Current Research
Supervised by Professor Shaun Pattinson and Dr Samantha Halliday, her PhD research is exploring the criteria that Chinese law may impose on people who wish to access assisted reproductive technologies. This project will analyse the legal, regulatory and cultural positions in China and the UK. The project will make use of different moral theories to advance its thesis and develop a regime which reflects societal values and resolves legal problems.
