Reproductive Biomedicine in Space, Implications for Gametogenesis, Fertility, and Ethical Considerations – RBMO
Reproductive BioMedicine Online (RBMO) shared a post on LinkedIn:
“This review article discusses how spaceflight conditions may affect reproduction, fertility, and long-term human health and, just as importantly, where the guiding evidence is still missing.
The review from a team encompassing expertise from fertility, embryology, bioethics, and aerospace medicines, evaluates known biological stressors such as radiation exposure, microgravity, circadian disruption, and chronic stress, and examines what these factors may mean for reproductive systems across sexes and developmental stages. It also makes clear how substantial the remaining data gaps are, and why caution, safeguards, and ethics must precede any discussion of policy or practice. As human and commercial spaceflight accelerates, these issues cannot be avoided—but they must be approached with evidence, rigor, and restraint.
The paper is available to read for free from issue 52.3.”
