The paper provides a definition of sexual and reproductive health and infertility and also reflects modern ideas about ways to overcome infertility using assisted reproductive technologies, such as in vitro fertilization (IVF) and surrogacy. It shows the specificity of the impact of an IVF procedure on the mental health of a potential mother. The features of the neonatal health status, as well as neuropsychiatric disorders in babies born using the IVF procedure are described. The authors present two types of surrogacy (traditional and gestational ones) and the features of their use in different countries according to governmental legislative regulation, socioeconomic and religious factors, and cultural traditions in society. They unveil the features of a psychological relationship between the mother (surrogate and presumed one) and the fetus. The consequences of surrogacy for a surrogate mother, genetic parents, and a child himself/herself are noted to be little studied. It is shown that the development of assisted reproductive technologies (IVF and surrogacy), on the one hand, helps fight infertility and, on the other hand, entails a number of problems (moral and ethical, legal, cultural and religious, socioeconomic, and neuropsychiatric ones) that need to be solved in order to prevent psychological, neurological, and mental abnormalities in all the participants (a surrogate mother, an unborn child, and potential parents) in the assisted reproductive process:

Tulisan dalam buku ini merupakan hasil penelitian, berupa penelusuran literatur dan hasil wawancara dengan narasumber  yang dilakukan di Bandung, Jakarta, CJ Koh Law Library, NUS Singapura, University of New Delhi India, Bodleian Law Library, University of Oxford di Inggris.Beberapa bagian dari tulisan buku ini sudah diprsentasikan dalam dua konferensi Internasional, yaitu :Access to Justice 2015, yang diselenggarkan oleh Fakultas Hukum Universitas Brawijaya di Malang;Konferensi 18th International Conference on Family Law 2016 di Dubai Uni Emirat Arab.Buku ini ditulis oleh 3 pakar hukum perdata dari Universitas Padjadjaran Bandung, yaitu :Pertama Sonny Dewi Judiasih, lahir di Bandung pada 11 Januari 1960, pendidikan S-1 (pendidikan tinggi) ditempuh di Universitas Padjadjaran Bandung, Program Pendidikan Spesialis Notariat Fakultas Hukum Universitas Padjadjaran Bandung, pendidikan S-2 diprogram Magister Hukum Universitas Padjadjaran Bandung, dan pendidikan S-3 program Doktor Ilmu Hukum Universitas Padjadjaran Bandung.  Sonny Dewi Judiasih menjabat sebagai Ketua Program Studi Magister Ilmu Hukum Fakultas Hukum Universitas Padjadjaran Bandung.Kedua  Susilowati Suparto Dajaan, lahir di Bandung 25 Agustus 1957, pendidikan S-1 (pendidikan tinggi) ditempuh di Universitas Padjadjaran Bandung, pendidikan S-2 diprogram Magister Hukum Universitas Padjadjaran Bandung, dan pendidikan S-3 program Doktor Ilmu Hukum Universitas Padjadjaran Bandung. Susilowati Suparto Dajaan, merupakan Ketua Departemen Hukum Perdata Fakultas Hukum Universitas Padjadjaran Bandung.Ketiga Deviana Yuanitasari, lahir di Jakarta 3 Desember 1982, menyelesaikan pendidikan Magister Hukum di Universitas Indonesia, pada tahun 2006. Deviana Yuanitasari, merupakan Sekretaris Prodi Magister Ilmu Hukum Universitas Padjadjaran Bandung, dan sebagai anggota Pusat Studi Hukum Ekonomi dan Kebijakan Publik, serta anggota International Association of Consumer Law.

Tetapi dalam perkembangan jaman pada saat ini permasalahan tidak memiliki keturunan dalam keluarga bukan hanya dapat diselesaikan dengan melalui cara mengadopsi anak saja, tetapi pasangan suami istri menghendaki dapat memiliki keturunan dengan genetik pasangan suami istri tersebut, dengan cara inseminasi buatan (pembuahan dapat dilakukan dalam kandungan istri) atau dengan cara menyewa rahim seseorang disebut dengan surrogate mother.Surrogate Mother, terjadinya karena pihak istri tidak bisa mengandung karena ada kelainan pada rahim, sehingga peran istri digantikan oleh wanita lain untuk menggantikan fungsinya sebagai seorang ibu yang menjalani kandungan dan melahirkan, baik diberi imbalan ataupun sukarela. Namun seiring dengan perkembangan jaman, terjadi pergeseran pada makna dari substansi awal sebagai alternatif medis, menjadi ke arah sosial dan eksploitasi nilai sebuah rahim atau sering disebut juga ladang bisnis/alat mencari nafkah baru demi gaya hidup masyarakat yang semakin tinggi.Hal ini, terjadi dimasyarakat kalangan kelas menengah ke atas, karena terjadinya permasalahan pada vertilitas (kesuburan reproduksi), sehingga tidak dapat hamil. Permasalahan inipun di tunjang dengan kemajuan teknologi kedokteran terkait permasalahan reproduksi, yaitu dengan cara kelahiran di luar cara ilmiah atau disebut dengan Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART).Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART) merupakan cara untuk memiliki keturunan yang dilakukan oleh pihak ketiga (pasangan suami istri) melalui cara sewa rahim agar memiliki keturunan.Masalah Surrogate Mother, menjadi topik perdebatan terkait keberadaan perempuan, etika, hukum, dan sosial. Di Indonesia sampai saat ini secara formal praktik Surrogate Mother belum dilakukan, tetapi pada kenyataannya wanita muda yang berasal dari Indonesia menyatakan dirinya bersedia menjadi Surrogate Mother.Maka menurut Sonny Dewi Judiasih, Susilowati Suparto Dajaan, dan Deviana Yuanitasari, dalam buku ini perlu untuk membahas beberapa permasalahan diantaranya mengenai Surrogacy Agreement menurut hukum perjanjian di Indonesia, status hukum anak yang lahir dari Surrogate Mother, dan pengaturan terkait Surrogate Mother di beberapa negara sebagai perbandingan.

Many HIV-infected individuals are in relationships with HIV-uninfected partners and desire to have children. This review focuses on the issue of reproductive choices for these couples, in particular assisted reproductive technologies, and summarises the published outcome data currently available. The results thus far from assisted reproductive technologies in optimising pregnancy outcomes and reducing heterosexual and perinatal HIV transmission are promising. In the future, it is essential that there is ongoing reporting of outcome data, publication of methodology and follow-up, and reporting of adverse outcomes.

Purpose Because of increasing uptake of cancer genetic testing and the improving survival of young patients with cancer, health care practitioners including oncologists will increasingly be asked about options for assisted reproduction by members of families affected by hereditary cancer syndromes. Among these reproductive options, preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) offers the opportunity to select embryos without familial cancer-predisposing mutations. Methods A review of the published literature supplemented by a survey of PGD centers in the United States. Results Prenatal diagnosis and/or embryo selection after genetic testing has already been performed in the context of more than a dozen familial cancer syndromes, including the common syndromes of genetic predisposition to colon and breast cancer. Conclusion While constituting new reproductive options for families affected by cancer, the medical indications and ethical acceptance of assisted reproductive technologies for adult-onset cancer predisposition syndromes remain to be defined. Continued discussion of the role of PGD in the reproductive setting is needed to inform the responsible use of these technologies to decrease the burden of heritable cancers.

This paper analyses gender and social controversies of assisted reproductive technologies and the discrimination of childless women in Serbia. Primary goals of this paper are critical analysis of new reproductive technologies phenomenon, discrimination against women without children and critical analysis of the legal framework regulating biomedical assisted reproduction in Serbia from gender studies and feminist methodology perspectives, as well as presentation of the research results on discrimination of childless women. For the purpose of this research the survey and the content analysis have been used. A survey was conducted of 50 female participants in the in vitro fertilization program at the Department for Gynecology and Obstetrics in Novi Sad. The results indicate that the regulations on biomedical assisted reproduction and the criteria for inclusion in the in vitro fertilization program are discriminatory and that women involved in the program feel discriminated against, usually at work and in their own surroundings. The conclusion is that it is necessary to change the regulations governing this area, further work on the elimination of discrimination against childless women and destigmatisation of women and couples that cannot or do not want to have children.

AbstractIn the last few decades, assisted reproductive technologies (ARTs) have become increasingly transregional and transnational, often involving travel within or between countries or even continents. Until recently, the global ART industry was marked by so-called ‘reprohubs’—places (such as southern California, Dubai, Anand, and Mumbai) specializing in the provision of reproductive services. While reprohubs continue to exist, in the last few years, many have splayed out, transforming into something more akin to webs that encompass, but go beyond these hubs. These webs show a unique dynamic capability to tighten, entangle, or extend in reaction to local and global changes, a characteristic which became particularly obvious during the global Covid-19 pandemic. In this paper, we propose conceptualizing this new dynamic capability as ‘reprowebs’—an approach that adds a new dimension to the existing conceptualization of reproductive travel and helps us to better understand current developments in the global ART industry.

Analyses of assisted reproductive technologies have demonstrated how objectification and agency can coexist in infertility centres. How objectification creates opportunities for empowerment, however, has not yet been explored. In analysing women’s narratives of assisted conception in Colombian infertility clinics, I demonstrate the complexity in women’s embodied experiences of various objectifying stages of assisted conception and argue that their experiences produced multiple forms of embodied agency. Women used diagnostic procedures to learn about their bodies and infertility complications, which augmented their authority over their bodies and treatment. They drew upon their embodied knowledge to reduce treatment anxieties, while sensations such as pain were made purposeful, and hence meaningful, as women strove to reconfigure the significance of the embodied sensations of conception in a context of medicalized reproduction. In these narratives, we see that lived bodies are productive agents of social change, generating meanings and working to reshape dominant social understandings.

The development of reprogenetics during the last two decades of the XX century has brought a new age of reproduction. The paper surveys different types of reprogenetics in a wider sense, i.e. different assisted reproductive technologies (ART) that include manipulation of female reproductive cell out of a woman's womb. Development of reprogenetics is documented by available quantitative indicators of the number and success of ART procedures in developed countries at the beginning of the XXI century. Since 1978, when the first baby was born from in vitro fertilization, the number of children born that way has reached 1% of all children, and in some countries even over 3%. Moreover, existing documentation is incomplete and does not include all forms of assisted reproduction - in reality, the importance of assisted reproduction is even higher and becomes demographically significant. Hence the paper indicates existing and potential effects of the ART development on the demographic development i.e. on specific demographic aspects of this phenomenon. It also points out the effects on the level of fertility, on the changes of direct fertility determinants, and on the levels of mortality and infant mortality, as well as a new understanding of birth control, the possibility of affecting biological structures, and the changes of the fundaments of marriage and family. Development perspectives of reprogenetics are also being raised in the context of bioethical discussions and indicate ethical dilemmas related to assisted reproduction. Solutions to the dilemmas define the scope of applying new reproductive technologies in the future.

Situations involving a surrogate mother keeping a newborn child born after assisted reproductive technology program and related criminal offenses have been considered. The qualification of actions of a surrogate mother has been offered. The peculiarity of the qualification lies in the inability of practitioners, especially law enforcement agencies, to determine the illegal actions of the surrogate mother in the presence of seemingly perfectly legal grounds for her to dispose of the child. The article focuses on documents that can serve as evidence of illegal behavior of a surrogate mother. The material can be useful primarily for lawyers practicing in the field of assisted reproductive technologies, including law enforcement officers. For potential SMs, the goal is to prevent them from committing such excesses by increasing their legal culture. After all, instead of doing a good deed and receiving a reward for it, she can get up to 15 years in prison with confiscation of her property, confiscation of her biological child, destruction of her family.
