Monika Piotrowska has defended a new account of reproduction. Her account seems able to answer the question of whether reproduction takes place, and who reproduces, when we employ biotechnologies that bear little to no resemblance to naturally occurring human sexual reproduction. Piotrowska's account also seems to increase our understanding of biological individuality and seems to be compatible with the theory of evolution via natural selection. In this paper, I do two things. First, I show that Piotrowska's account is found wanting, because it is extensionally inadequate. Second, I show that her criticism of James Grisemer's account of reproduction is mistaken.

什么是重现？关于再生产的重叠、发展和持续性解释


莫妮卡·皮奥特罗斯卡 (Monika Piotrowska) 为生殖的新解释辩护。当我们使用与自然发生的人类有性生殖几乎没有相似之处的生物技术时，她的说法似乎能够回答是否发生生殖以及谁进行生殖的问题。皮奥特罗斯卡的解释似乎也增加了我们对生物个体性的理解，并且似乎与自然选择的进化论相一致。在本文中，我做了两件事。首先，我表明皮奥特罗斯卡的叙述是有缺陷的，因为它在外延上是不充分的。其次，我表明她对詹姆斯·格里斯默关于生殖的解释的批评是错误的。
