Description

From Viagra to in vitro fertilization, new technologies are rapidly changing the global face of reproductive health.

They are far from neutral: religious, cultural, social, and legal contexts condition their global transfer.

The way a society interprets and adopts (or rejects) a new technology reveals a great deal about the relationship between bodies and the body politic.

Reproductive health technologies are often particularly controversial because of their potential to reconfigure kinship relationships, sexual mores, gender roles, and the way life is conceptualized.

This collection of original ethnographic research spans the region from Morocco and Tunisia to Israel and Iran and covers a wide range of technologies, including emergency contraception, medication abortion, gamete donation, hymenoplasty, erectile dysfunction, and gender transformation.
