Assisted Reproductive Technologies in the Global South and North
critically analyses the political and social frameworks of Assisted
Reproductive Technology (ART), and its impact in different
countries. In the context of a worldwide social pressure to
conceive - particularly for women - this collection explores the
effect of the development of ARTs, growing globalisation and
reproductive medicalization on global societies. Providing an
overview of the issues surrounding ART both in the Global South and
North, this book analyses ART inequalities, commonalities and
specificities in various countries, regions and on the
transnational scene. From a multidisciplinary perspective and
drawing on multisite studies, it highlights some new issues
relating to ART (e.g. egg freezing, surrogacy) and discusses some
older issues regarding infertility and its medical treatment (e.g.
in vitro fertilisation, childless stigmatisation and access to
treatment). This book aims to redress the balance between what is
known about Assisted Reproductive Technologies in the Global North,
and how the issue is investigated in the Global South. It aims to
draw out the global similarities in the challenges that ARTs bring
between these different areas of the world. It will appeal to
scholars and students in the social sciences, medicine, public
health, health policy, women's and gender studies, and demography.
