In the contemporary world, the unborn - human embryos and foetuses
- are highly public and contested figures. Their visual images
appear across a wide range of forums, from YouTube videos to
pregnancy handbooks. They have become commercial commodities as
part of the IVF industry, reproductive tourism and stem cell
research and regenerative medicine. The unborn are the focus of
intense debates concerning concepts of personhood and humanness,
especially in relation to abortion politics and the use and
disposal of embryos created outside the human body. The Social
Worlds of the Unborn is the first book-length work to discuss all
of these issues and more, drawing on social and cultural theory and
research and empirical research to do so. It will be of interest to
academics and students in a multitude of disciplines, including
sociology, anthropology, philosophy, bioethics, gender studies,
media and cultural studies and science and technology studies.
