sociological and historical study of the development of
reproductive technologies, this book focuses on key technological
developments through a biomedicalization lens with special
attention to gender. Using in vitro fertilization (IVF) as a hub,
it critically examines the main areas of related socio-technical
developments: reproductive science, birth control, animal
husbandry, genetics and reproductive medicine. Employing a critical
framework to illuminate dominant discourses, the book also
highlights examples of social resistance, as well as contradictory
responses to new reproductive technologies. Over eight chapters,
the author examines the social history of reproduction and
sexuality, reproductive technologies from old to new and debates
surrounding new reproductive technologies and genetic engineering.
Women and Reproductive Technologies pays close attention to the
interconnections between the business of reproduction (and
replication industries), the sociality of reproduction (including
reproductive justice) and what are considered the technologies
themselves. As such, it constitutes essential reading for students
and researchers in the fields of sociology, health studies and
gender studies interested in the current state of human
reproduction.
