Women and Reproductive Technologies: The Socio-economic Development of Technologies Changing the World: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Women and Reproductive Technologies: The Socio-economic Development of Technologies Changing the World" wrote himself).

The Open Access version of this book, available at www.taylorfrancis.com, has been made available under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives 4.0 license.

A 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.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

Work of this kind is never done alone. I start at the beginning and thank Somer Brodribb who, over three decades ago, introduced me to Mary OBrien and reproductive consciousness and to the possibility of thinking about things differently. This gave life to this project which reflects three decades of teaching a course on women and reproductive technology. Thanks to all the students over all those years who participated and helped me develop the ideas here. I am also grateful to the people at Queens University who allowed me to research and write and provided me the opportunity to meet my colleague on this project, Dr. Derya Gngr. Derya was the midwife to this work and was present from its start. She was instrumental in the books design and helped carry it to completion. I am grateful for the opportunity to work with this scholar of reproduction with such a steady and helpful hand.

Thanks to those at Routledge who helped carry this along from beginning to end. Neil Jordan was a calm, guiding hand from the proposal to submission, at which point Alice Salt capably took over.

Daily chats with my sister Nin also carried me along, especially as the pandemic hit and I had to juggle some pretty large balls in the air at home and at work. The laughter was priceless. A close circle of friends, Babi, Laura, Vicki and Tove, also helped to keep me sane and productive. Vicki, a lawyer, read through the chapter on legislation. And, finally, thanks to my domestic pod made up of my son Gabe and our dogs Hugo and Latte. The talks and walks made all the difference in the World! And maybe now I wont be so grumpy.

Any errors in this text are mine.

Introduction

DOI: 10.4324/9780429467646-1

When the birth of Louise Joy Brown was announced in 1978 as the worlds first baby born from in vitro fertilization (IVF) or the worlds first test-tube baby, many took notice. There was fear that we were crossing a line into unmarked territory and exposing the human embryo like never before. What would happen to these children formed in cold glass containers in sterile labs? Would they be less human? Would they be monstrous? Would they die and feel it? This was science and medicine dealing with the most vulnerable stage of human becoming should we really be messing about so? Many women, especially those of us in or near large modern cities and now used to routine medical attention to our reproductivity, saw this as further incursion. Not necessarily unwelcome, but was it necessary? Those critical of medical intervention into a normal part of human being continued to be critical and could see how genetic engineering would figure. However, more women who lived in poverty and social neglect with far less attention paid by modern medicine to their reproductivity didnt notice. Some religious authorities welcomed IVF as another step in promoting the reproduction of souls, while others sniffed the air and claimed the move too close to playing God. And a combination of all from the above worried over the status of the newly exposed human embryo.
