Do Women Have A Duty To Procreate

Everywoman

Available for over a year

Do women have a duty to bear children? As the UK Finance Minister promises to increase maternity leave, and Western governments worry about a dearth of babies to eventually support a large elderly population, the show asks whether there are any moral implications when considering whether to have a large family or not. Also on the programme: A look into the phenomenal cost of weddings in Kashmir. Plus, an interview with the woman who turned insect sounds into music.
