But ideas such as 'research', 'education', 'human', and 'reproduction' are problematic in that they depend, in part, on how they are interpreted under modern technologically mediated conditions.
			Knowledge concerning human reproduction, then, can no longer be explained under one domain (e.g., within a medical discourse). It is important therefore, to keep discussion of technologies on an agenda for critical debate, especially about how they will, and ought to, impact on education -- on learning, teaching, and evaluation -- and also on the very process of policy formation -- and therefore, their impact on the objects of AMAT.
			For an introductory research paper that contextualises AMAT's objects within a space circumscribed by the discourses of technology, economics and culture, see: AMAT, Technology & Human Reproduction. The topic is further explored in a paper that follows the tradition of Heidegger in questioning technology; see: The Question Concerning Educational Technology. Both papers are published on the AMAT website.
