Undoing Motherhood: Collaborative Reproduction and the Deinstitutionalization of U.S. Maternity (Families in Focus)

Katherine M. Johnson
4.9/5 (26158 ratings)
Description:In 1978 the world’s first “test tube baby” was born from in vitro fertilization (IVF), effectively ushering in a paradigm shift for infertility treatment that relied on partially disembodied human reproduction. Beyond IVF, the ability to extract, fertilize, and store reproductive cells outside of the human body has created new opportunities for family building, but also prompted new conflicts about rights to and control over reproductive cells. In collaborative forms of reproduction that build on IVF-technologies, such as egg and embryo donation, and gestational surrogacy, multiple women may variously contribute to conception, gestation/birth, and then legal and social responsibilities for rearing a child, creating intentionally fragmented maternities. Undoing Motherhood examines the implications of such fragmented maternities in the post-IVF reproductive era for generating maternity uncertainty—an increasing cultural ambiguity about what does and should constitute maternity. Undoing Motherhood explores this uncertainty in the social worlds of reproductive medicine and law.  We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
