Transnational Reproduction: The Bioethics of Crossing Borders for Fertility Services
Assisted reproductive and genetic technologies offer people all over the world the opportunity to have children. Variations in legislation across countries, however, have led to the rise of transnational reproduction (also known as "reproductive tourism"), in which people cross international borders to access reproductive technologies such as IVF, surrogacy, egg donation, and pre-implantation genetic diagnosis. This talk will examine the bioethical and social justice concerns at the heart of debates concerning transnational reproduction.
Bio Daisy Deomampo is Assistant Professor of Anthropology at Fordham University. She is a cultural and medical anthropologist whose research interests encompass science and technology studies, critical race studies, reproductive health and politics, and bioethics and social justice. She is also the author of Transnational Reproduction: Race, Kinship, and Commercial Surrogacy in India (NYU Press, 2016), which is based on long-term ethnographic fieldwork in India with Indian surrogate mothers, Western intended parents, and egg donors from around the world, as well as doctors and other actors. Her current research explores the social meanings of race, identity, and DNA in the context of gamete (egg and sperm) donation in the United States.
