The study's primary purpose was to recognise the effects of determinants on the level of fertility and thereby explain the differences in trends in the regions of Slovakia. At the turn of the century, the differences in fertility in regions increased, but the total fertility rate decreased. Multivariate statistical methods clarified the regional effects of the level and nature of fertility. Initial regression surveys indicated weak effects between regions, which led to applying factor and cluster analysis to establish regional types. Comprehensive regression analysis was then applied. The strength and nature of regional relationships differed at the inter- and intra-regional levels. Research has demonstrated significant differences in fertility rates dependent on the socioeconomic environment, as regional types uniquely link to determinants. Moreover, each determinant has specific spatial patterns with unequal regression coefficients at different regional levels, which cannot be evaluated constantly. Knowing how spatial variation in fecundity occurs will enable future studies to elucidate the processes involved. Finally, fertility is vital for social assessment and policy formulation, the study’s findings could inform local decision-makers and planners in identifying the socioeconomic conditions underlying fertility at the regional level and planning appropriate intervention strategies.

Gestation is the process of which each of us are the result. The very nature of human gestation, however, has shifted and will continue to shift as a result of technology. Uterus transplantation, the transplant of a functioning uterus into the body of a person absent a uterus, enables a person who was previously unable to sustain a pregnancy to do so. Gestation as we have known it has been confined to the uterus of a person assigned female at birth. Uterus transplantation makes imaginable pregnancies in bodies that were not assigned female at birth, such as cis men. Thus, it has the capacity to ‘unsex’ pregnancy. Ectogestation, the partial or complete facilitation of gestation in an artificial device (outside the body), more drastically alters the nature of gestation as we know it: by enabling gestation without pregnancy, that is, gestation beyond the body. These novel possibilities raise important conceptual questions. Are pregnancy and gestation the same thing? Who are these technologies for and when? Who are the parents when novel forms of gestation are used? How do these technologies disrupt our notions of reproductive biosex? And are they tools of emancipation? In exploring these and other questions, this book explores the implications of novel technologies enabling gestation.
