A comprehensive exploration of the evolution of reproductive technologies, this book delves into the sociological and historical context of their development, with a particular focus on gender. Through a biomedicalization lens, it critically examines key technological advancements, including in vitro fertilization (IVF), reproductive science, birth control, animal husbandry, genetics, and reproductive medicine. By employing a critical framework, the book uncovers dominant discourses and highlights instances of social resistance and contradictory responses to emerging reproductive technologies and genetic engineering. Spanning eight chapters, the author delves into the social history of reproduction and sexuality, explores the transition from ancient to modern reproductive technologies, and engages in discussions surrounding new reproductive technologies and genetic engineering.
Women and Reproductive Technologies takes a multi-faceted approach, examining the intricate relationships between the business of reproduction, the social aspects of reproduction, and the technologies themselves. It serves as a vital resource for students and researchers in sociology, health studies, and gender studies, providing insights into the current state of human reproduction and its broader societal implications.
