Summary/Abstract: Biological reproduction concerns every one of us – we were all conceived, carried in the womb and we were born; most of us have children of our own. Reproduction is a sensitive and fundamental theme in the life of every person, it is the subject of heated discussions, both medical, academic and within the general public. Population studies, social politics, and demography have repeatedly given much attention to the issue of biological reproduction in the Czech population.
