Contemporary Dutch policy and legislation facilitate the use of
high quality, accessible and affordable assisted reproductive
technologies (ARTs) to all citizens in need of them, while at the
same time setting some strict boundaries on their use in daily
clinical practices. Through the ethnographic study of a single
clinic in this national context, Patient-Centred IVF examines how
this particular form of medicine, aiming to empower its patients,
co-shapes the experiences, views and decisions of those using these
technologies. Gerrits contends that to understand the use of
reproductive technologies in practice and the complexity of
processes of medicalization, we need to go beyond 'easy
assumptions' about the hegemony of biomedicine and the expected
impact of patient-centredness.
