Reproduction as consumption: unravelling the sociological shaping of reproductive tourism market in China

Gamete donor anonymity has become an increasingly active area of legislative, bioethical, and empirical interest over the last decade or so. This chapter begins by detailing the very different status of gamete donor anonymity, contrasting the United States (where the law does not prohibit it) with the rest of the world (where it has been largely prohibited by law) and examining the effects of these policies. The chapter then examines the major arguments that have been offered in favor of and against mandating nonanonymous gamete donation. In particular, it focuses on the effects of removing anonymity on supply and arguments in favor of ending sperm donor anonymity based on the welfare of donor-conceived children or rights claims by them. The chapter also more briefly considers ethical and legal issues related to donor compensation, accidental incest, information reciprocity between donors and recipients, and reproductive tourism.

Tourism And Hospitality

The working together of tourism industry, governmental agencies, and assisted reproduction facilities is critical to the success of reproductive tourism business. If we have to draw up a theory of reproductive tourism, similarly, it has to come from multidisciplinary perspectives that include healthcare research, tourism and hospitality research, consumer behavior research, public policy research, among others. This chapter is an attempt to bring together ideas from different contributory areas to weave together a theory of reproductive tourism. The nuanced business environment of Greece, our destination of special focus, for reproductive tourism will also be discussed.

Found Poetry

This paper explores the use of found poetry as interpretive and aesthetic inquiry into the meaning and experience of reproductive tourism. The context is an ethnographic study of transnational egg donation, focusing upon the fertility services industry in Cancun, Mexico. Our source is an audio-recorded interview conducted with Maria, a young Mexican woman who struggles to maintain her integrity as a single mother donating eggs to a fertility clinic. Drawing upon Maria’s story, we experiment with three forms of found poetry as a method for listening deeply to her voice. In this paper, we share our research process, poems, and reflections.
