Undoing Motherhood

Collaborative Reproduction and the Deinstitutionalization of U.S. Maternity

Beschreibung

In 1978 the world’s first IVF baby was born, ushering in a paradigm shift in reproductive medicine. IVF and collaborative reproduction (egg/embryo donation, gestational surrogacy) create new opportunities and conflicts about reproduction and parentage. Undoing Motherhood examines the connected issues of fragmented and uncertain maternity in the post-IVF reproductive era.
