Abstract

Reproductive technology is typically discussed in the future tense. Yet doctors have always treated involuntary childlessness. This book looks at the recent history of infertility and the different ways medicine has treated it. It traces the reluctance to allow infertility a past to a new tension that has emerged between utopian and anti-utopian fears about the growth rate and composition of the population. "The Stork and the Syringe" argues that although doctors' approach to infertility is formed in response to the exigencies of the political economy of medical practice, it also accommodates a persistent gender bias: the tendency to regard women's bodies as inviting intervention and men's as demanding caution. This bias is manifest in relation to gametes (eggs and sperm), sex hormones, in the form of medical investigations and treatment, and the frequency and enthusiasm with which the latter are carried out. Departures from this theme are rare and controversial, as the history of artificial insemination using donor semen demonstrates. This book should contribute to the history and sociology of reproduction, fertility, population and medicine.

Abstract

Examines the global impact of infertility as a major reproductive health issue, one that has profoundly affected the lives of countless women and men. This title investigates the use of reproductive technologies in non-Western countries.This exceptional collection of essays breaks new ground by examining the global impact of infertility as a major reproductive health issue, one that has profoundly affected the lives of countless women and men. Based on original research by seventeen internationally acclaimed social scientists, it is the first book to investigate the use of reproductive technologies in non-Western countries. Provocative and incisive, it is the most substantial work to date on the subject of infertility. With infertility as the lens through which a wide range of social issues is explored, the contributors address a far-reaching array of topics: why infertility has been neglected in population studies, how the deeply gendered nature of infertility sets the blame squarely on women's shoulders, how infertility and its treatment transform family dynamics and relationships, and the distribution of medical and marital power. The chapters present informed and sophisticated investigations into cultural perceptions of infertility in numerous countries, including China, India, the nations of sub-Saharan Africa, Vietnam, Costa Rica, Egypt, Israel, the United States, and the nations of Europe.Poised to become the quintessential reference on infertility from an international social science perspective, "Infertility around the Globe" makes a powerful argument that involuntary childlessness is a complex phenomenon that has far-reaching significance worldwide.

Abstract

Sur toutes les questions relatives à la procréation, la réflexion éthique rencontre inévitablement, en amont, un certain nombre de problèmes qui ne peuvent pas trouver de réponses dans le cadre de la médecine ou de la biologie, ni même dans ceux de la sociologie ou de la psychologie. Ces problèmes relèvent d'une anthropologie qui ait une notion bien définie non seulement de ce qu'est l'être humain, mais encore de la finalité de son existence. Cet ouvrage montre le grand intérêt qu'offre à cet égard la pensée patristique. Celle-ci a engagé très tôt une réflexion sur la place de la sexualité et de la procréation dans la vie du couple. Divers débats dogmatiques lui ont aussi permis, au cours des siècles, de constituer une anthropologie très élaborée qui propose une représentation précise non seulement de la nature et de la personne humaines, mais aussi du statut de l'embryon et de l'identité de l'être humain. Les positions des Pères, plus nuancées qu'on ne le pense, ouvrent des pistes insoupçonnées pour la recherche, dont pourront tirer profit aussi bien les instances sociales qui cherchent à définir une éthique que les confessions chrétiennes souvent mal informées de leurs sources traditionnelles et de la richesse de celles-ci.
