Relatedness in assisted reproduction - families, origins and identities
edited by Tabitha Freeman; Susanna Graham; Fatemeh Ebtehaj; Martin Richards
Language: English
Cambridge University Press, 2016.
xi, 319 pages : illustration ; 23 cm.
ISBN: 9781316618028 ; 1316618021
Summary: Assisted reproduction challenges and reinforces traditional understandings of family, kinship and identity. Sperm, egg and embryo donation and surrogacy raise questions about relatedness for parents, children, and others involved in creating and raising a child. How socially, morally or psychologically significant is a genetic link between a donor-conceived child and their donor? What should children born through assisted reproduction be told about their origins? Does it matter if a parent is genetically unrelated to their child? How do experiences differ for men and women using collaborative reproduction in heterosexual or same-sex couples, single-parent families or co-parenting arrangements? What impact does the wider cultural, socio-legal and regulatory context have? In this multidisciplinary book, an international team of academics and clinicians bring together new empirical research and social science, legal and bioethical perspectives to explore the key issue of relatedness in assisted reproduction.

Reproductive geographies : bodies, places and politics
edited by Marcia R. England; Maria Fannin; Helen Hazen
Language: English
Abingdon, Oxon ; New York, NY : Routledge, 2019. ©2019.
x, 229 pages : illustrations ; 24 cm.
ISBN: 9780815386193 ; 0815386192
Summary: The sites, spaces, and subjects of reproduction are distinctly geographical. Reproductive geographies span different scales--body, home, local, national, global--and movements across space. This book expands our understanding of the socio-cultural and spatial aspects of fertility, pregnancy, and birth. The chapters directly address global perspectives, the future of reproductive politics and state-focused approaches to the politicization of fertility, pregnancy, and birth. The book provides up-to-date explorations on the changing landscapes of reproduction, including the expansion of reproductive technologies, such as surrogacy and intrauterine insemination. Contributions in this book focus on phenomenologically inspired accounts of women's lived experience of pregnancy and birth, the biopolitics of birth and citizenship, the material histories of reproductive tissues as "scientific objects" and engagements with public health and development policy.

The reproductive industry : intimate experiences and global processes
edited by Sarah Ferber; Vera C. Mackie; Nicola J. Marks
Language: English
Lanham : Lexington Books, [2019].
187 p.
ISBN: 9781498570657 ; 1498570658
Summary: Starting in 1978, when the first babies conceived through in vitro fertilization (IVF) were born in the UK and India, assisted reproduction has become a global industry. Contributors to this edited collection reflect on the global dimensions of IVF and assisted reproductive technologies, examining how people have used these technologies to create diverse family forms, including gay, lesbian, and transgender parenthood, as well as complex configurations of genetic, gestational, and social parenthood. The authors examine how IVF and other reproductive technologies have and have not circulated around the globe; how reproductive technologies can be situated historically, nationally, locally, and culturally; and the ways in which culture, practices, regulations, norms, families, and kinship ties may be reinforced or challenged through the use of assisted reproduction.

Access to assisted reproductive technologies : the case of France and Belgium
edited by Jennifer Merchant
Language: English
New York : Berghahn, 2020.
242 p. : cm.
ISBN: 9781789204315 ; 1789204313
Summary: Despite France and Belgium sharing and interacting constantly with similar culinary tastes, music and pop culture, access to Assisted Reproductive Technologies are strikingly different. Discrimination written into French law acutely contrasts with non-discriminatory access to ART in Belgium. The contributors of this volume are social scientists from France, Belgium, England, and the United States, representing different disciplines: law, political science, philosophy, sociology, and anthropology. Each author has attempted, through the prism of their specialties, to demonstrate and analyse how and why this striking difference in access to ART exists.

Donor conception and the search for information : from secrecy and anonymity to openness
by Sonia Allan
Language: English
New York, NY : Routledge, 2016.
pages, cm.
ISBN: 9781409446392 ; 1409446395
Summary: This book examines the extent to which laws in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom and Australia regulate access to assisted reproductive technology (ART) and control the use of surrogacy and payments made to surrogate mothers. It also provides a review of the varied answers offered to the questions about parenthood that arise when either method of assisted conception results in the birth of a child. Finally it identifies models which may assist in the further development of the law in these jurisdictions. Whilst the book provides comprehensive information about the laws of each jurisdiction where necessary, the focus is upon differences in approach and style. The study thus reflects contrasting perceptions of the role the law should play in the highly personal matter of human reproduction. The book will be of value to academics, students and legal practitioners involved with this area. It is also relevant to policy makers, health practitioners and anyone with an interest in the subject.
