Assisted reproductive technology (ART) allows people who are
infertile the opportunity to conceive children and form much
desired families. Over the past few decades, the number of ART
procedures conducted in the United States has steadily increased,
in part affected by the growing number of women trying to conceive
later in their reproductive lives—women trying to pursue careers
while balancing personal and societal demands of creating a family.
The initial spotlight cast by this demographic shift in baby making
has widened as a variety of other people experiencing social
infertility (e.g., single persons, same-sex couples) have
increasingly used such procedures to conceive their own desired
families as well. The spotlight has intensified as media exposure
and political attention to the use of ART, particularly by socially
infertile people, has aroused public concern and controversy. The
purpose of this book is to explore the factors that shape the
community's sentiment—and thus the controversy—toward ART and
ART-related laws and policies. Predictors of sentiment include
media (e.g., attention, sources), personal differences (e.g.,
religion, political ideology, beliefs about science), societal
influences (e.g., modernization, social norms regarding gender,
family, and sexuality), and psychological processes (e.g.,
cognitive processing, heuristics).
