| Abstract | U 21. stoljeću svjedoci smo sve češće upotrebe tehnologije u svim područjima života pa tako i u području reprodukcije. Tehnologije korištene u svrhu reprodukcije nazivaju se nove reproduktivne tehnologije (NRT). Individualizacija i materijalizam, promjene kulturnog, političkog, profesionalnog, religijskog i spolnog identiteta i prijelaz iz stvarnog u virtualni svijet stvaraju uvjete za nezainteresiranost o budućnosti što bi moglo dovesti do, ne samo želje nego i potrebe za nespolnom reprodukcijom što povlači pitanje o kraju kulture a time i društva. Žene izlaze na tržište rada, veća je ekonomska neovisnost, a odgovornost, osamostaljenje, brak i planiranje obitelji dolazi godinama kasnije s obzirom na prošla desetljeća. Rad polazi od pretpostavke da će seks, kao sredstvo reprodukcije, nestati odnosno da će se reprodukcija događati i drugim metodama osim spolnog odnosa. Cilj je istražiti mišljenja i stavove različitih spolnih, dobnih i religijskih skupina o korištenju i informiranosti o novim reproduktivnim tehnologijama i budućnosti reprodukcije gdje je neizostavno osvrnuti se na pitanja ravnopravnosti i jednakosti s obzirom na seksualnu orijentaciju i nove oblike obitelji. Istraživanje je provedeno online anketom putem društvenih mreža na neprobabilističkom uzorku od 297 punoljetnih osoba. Očekivana razlika između dobnih, religijskih i spolnih skupina pokazala se u sljedećim rezultatima. Stariji i religiozniji sudionici manje su upućeni u nove mogućnosti reprodukcije i manje skloni prihvaćanju novih tehnologija nego mladi te su skloniji mišljenju da je seks jedino ispravno sredstvo reprodukcije. Žene su više informirane i zainteresirane za nove reproduktivne tehnologije ali su i više zabrinute oko napretka tehnologije i znanosti u širem smislu nego muškarci. Također, žene i mladi su skloniji prihvaćanju LGBTIQ populacije i izjednačavanju s heteroseksualnim osobama nego muškarci i stariji ispitanici. Zanimljivo je da mlađi ispitanici vjeruju da bi suvremena MPO mogla dovesti do eugenike dok stariji ispitanici to ne misle. |
| Abstract (english) | In the 21st century, we are witnessing the increasing use of technology in all areas of life, including the field of human reproduction. Technologies used for the purpose of facilitating or preventing the process of reproduction are called new reproductive technologies (NRTs). Individualization and materialism, changes in cultural, political, professional, religious and sexual identity and the transition from the real to the virtual world create conditions for disinterest in the future which could lead to not only the desire but also the need for asexual reproduction which raises the question of the end of culture and thus of society. Women are entering the labor market, there is greater economic independence, and responsibilities, independence, marriage, and family planning come years later compared to the past decades. The paper builds on the assumption that sex, as a means of reproduction, will disappear, i.e., that reproduction will take place by other means than sexual intercourse. The aim of this paper is to explore the opinions and attitudes of different gender, age and religious groups on the use and awareness of new reproductive technologies and the future of reproduction where it is essential to address issues of equality with regard to sexual orientation and new types of families. The research was conducted through an online survey via social networks on a non-probabilistic sample of 297 adults. The expected difference between age, religious and gender groups was observed in the following results. Older and more religious participants are less familiar with new possibilities of reproduction and less inclined to accept new technologies when compared to younger participants, and are more inclined to think that sex is the only correct means of reproduction. Women are more informed and interested in new reproductive technologies (NRTs) but are also more concerned about advances in technology and science in a broader sense than men. Also, women and young adults are more likely to accept the LGBTIQ population and equate themselves with heterosexuals than men and older respondents. Interestingly, younger respondents believe that modern assisted reproductive technology could lead to eugenics while older respondents do not think so. |
