Description

Love, reproduction and family are entering a new era. Marriage Beyond the Body explores how immersive digital technologies, artificial intelligence, and reproductive biotechnology could reshape intimate relationships, parenthood and the very meaning of family. As physical presence becomes optional and biological reproduction becomes increasingly independent of sexual relations, this book introduces the concept of “decoupled marriage” — a framework for understanding how individuals and societies might reorganize the connections between emotional partnership, cohabitation, sexuality, genetics and parenting. Blending theory, real-world trends and future scenarios, it offers a clear and thought-provoking analysis of the opportunities, challenges and ethical questions ahead — with a focus on one central principle: the rights and well-being of children.
