Though commonplace today as a technological quick fix for infertility, assisted reproduction is a complex phenomenon, located at the intersection of patriarchy, medicalization and commerce. These technologies create both challenges and opportunities, and response to them have sought to balance questions of ethics, rights and politics. The essays in this volume map the journey of ARTs in different countries, examining the global industry and the challenges it poses in the context of markets and look at regulatory frameworks in diverse settings. Together they bring a feminist lens to the examination of the now-established ART industry. Sama’s longstanding work provides a special focus on India: the spread and features of the industry, the gendered nature of the burden and treatment of infertility, the destabilization of the family as we know it, and feminist debates around surrogacy that re-assess ideas of agency and commodification.
