Description
The far-reaching social implications of artificial fertilization are an understudied phenomenon in Switzerland and Russia. Public acceptance of in-vitro fertilization is increasing, but to have a child with this technology, and without sex, is still often imbued with secrecy and taboos. The book sheds light on the cultural and social production of gendered bodies, persons, and families in Russia, Switzerland, and Germany, with a special focus on normalization practices.
