| Abstract | In the field of fertility medicine, technology has vastly outpaced our ethical, legal, and social frameworks leaving us in a quagmire of gray morality. Seeds is a role-playing and simulation game about assisted reproductive technology and its effect on the shape of the 21st Century. Players play the role of a fertility doctor and must make difficult ethical decisions through courses of treatment while balancing economic, emotional, and scientific concerns. With Seeds, the goal is to foster meaningful decision-making that may echo from the game world into the real world by employing role-play and creating a safe space for expression and exploration of ethical issues. |
