This book takes a reproductive justice approach to argue that
surrogacy as practised in the contemporary neoliberal biomarkets
crosses the humanitarian thresholds of feminism. Drawing on her
ethnographic work with surrogate mothers, intended parents and
medical practitioners in India, the author shows the dark
connections between poverty, gender, human rights violations and
indignity in the surrogacy market. In a developing country like
India, bio-technologies therefore create reproductive objects of
certain female bodies while promoting an image of reproductive
liberation for others. India is a classic example for how far these
biomarkets can exploit vulnerabilities for individual requirements
in the garb of reproductive liberty. This critical book refers to a
range of liberal, radical and postcolonial feminist frameworks on
surrogacy, and questions the individual reproductive rights
perspective as an approach to examine global surrogacy. It
introduces 'humanitarian feminism' as an alternative concept to
bridge feminist factions divided on contextual and ideological
grounds. It hopes to build a global feminist solidarity drawing on
a 'reproductive justice' approach by recognizing the histories of
race, class, gender, sexuality, ability, age and immigration
oppression in all communities. This work is of interest to
researchers and students of medical sociology and anthropology,
gender studies, bioethics, and development studies.
