Following the birth of the first "test-tube baby" in 1978, Assisted
Reproductive Technologies became available to a small number of
people in high-income countries able to afford the cost of private
treatment, a period seen as the "First Phase" of ARTs. In the
"Second Phase," these treatments became increasingly available to
cosmopolitan global elites. Today, this picture is changing -
albeit slowly and unevenly - as ARTs are becoming more widely
available. While, for many, accessing infertility treatments
remains a dream, these are beginning to be viewed as a standard
part of reproductive healthcare and family planning. This volume
highlights this "Third Phase" - the opening up of ARTs to new
constituencies in terms of ethnicity, geography, education, and
class.
