Since the 1970s, Western countries have witnessed a proliferation of alarming discourses concerning declining fertility and the challenges of balancing work and family. These discourses have been heavily influenced by the notion of the biological clock, which centers around women's reproductive age and the associated fertility decline. Reproductive biomedicine, a specialized field, holds great promise in providing technological and medical solutions to address these concerns, as well as creating a new market for fertility extension technologies such as egg donation and social egg freezing.
This book delves into the intricate relationship between the biological and the social in the formation of bodies and identities. It challenges the notion of reproductive aging as a taken-for-granted fact of life at the core of reproductive biomedicine. By exploring the biology of the biological clock from a feminist perspective, the book aims to account for its embodied reality while also shedding light on its political implications. By examining the ontological choreographies of age-related infertility in the science and medicine of reproduction, the study uncovers how age materializes and documents the outcomes when reproduction intersects with aging. This research is highly interdisciplinary, raising questions about what is fixed about the biology of fertility decline in a way that adds complexity to debates surrounding the biomedicalization of reproductive aging.
