Reproduction has entered a new ice age: the ability to cryopreserve
reproductive cells, tissue and embryos are fundamentally changing
our understanding of what it means to be a reproductive citizen.
This book explores the ways in which visions of desirable
reproductive futures entangle with advances in freezing
technologies, with the authors situating their discussions of
cryo-fertility within the Scandinavian region, asking: * How does
cryopreservation help mobilize particular understandings of
reproductive time, reproductive rights and reproductive autonomy? *
What values are embedded within Scandinavian laws that seek to
regulate cryo-technologies? * How are frozen states enacted in
clinical settings and how do the women and men who freeze imagine
the preservation of reproductive parts? These questions demand a
collaborative approach. The authors empirically cut across the
arenas of bioethics/law, practices/experiences, and
culture/commerce in order to pin down often complex and
far-reaching answers.
