商品簡介
In this first ethnographic study of the new procreative practices of anonymous ova and embryo donation, Konrad (social anthropology, Girton College and U. of Cambridge) gives voice to both the donors and the IVF recipients and shows how the new reproductive technology creates an unfamiliar relatedness between these strangers. Konrad brings together material from social anthropology, social theory, cultural studies and feminist bioethics to discuss the relationship between biotechnology and changing concepts of genealogy, kinship, biological ownership and notions of bodily integrity.
