内容説明
This collection of essays provides an overview of the social developments associated with the new reproductive technologies. It assesses the significance of of these new technologies for the field of the sociology of technology as a whole. Case-studies are used to illuminate the social issues, institutions and practices involved. In-vitro fertilization in Britain is the main focus of the studies. Professionals in this field examine the careers of pioneers, and the language and conceptual frameworks which their field embodies are considered. Three of the essays investigate the responses of social institutions, such as the inhibitions surrounding governmental regulation of embryo research, the lack of information concerning artificial insemination donors and the media coverage of "success stories".
目次
- Reproductive technologies - a new terrain for the sociology of technology, Maureen McNeil
- whose mind over whose matter? women, in-vitro fertilization and the development of scientific knowledge, Christine Crowe
- the normalization of a new reproductive technology, Annette Burfoot
- the depersonalization of women through the administration of in-vitro fertilization, Deborah Lynn Steinberg
- the management of uncertainty in obstetric practice - ultrasonography and in-vitro fertilization and embryo transfer, Frances V. Price
- recreating the family? policy considerations relating to the "new" reproductive technologies, Erica Haimes
- conflicting concerns - the political context of recent embryo research policy in Britain, Edward Yoxen
- deconstructing "desperateness" - the social construction of infertility in popular representations of new reproductive technologies, Sarah Franklin.
