Globalization and Gametes: Reproductive "Tourism", Islamic Bioethics, and Middle Eastern Modernity

Summary:
 So-called "reproductive tourism" has been defined as the search for assisted reproductive technologies (ARTs) and human gametes (ova, sperm, embryos) across national and international borders. Global health policy-makers are deeply concerned about the implications of reproductive "outsourcing" as a global health equity issue. In her presentation, Globalization and Gametes: Reproductive "Tourism." Islamic Bioethics, and Middle Eastern Modernity, Dr. Marcia Inhorn develops the concepts of "reproscapes," "reproflows," and "reproductive exile" to describe the global circulation of actors, technologies, money, media, ideas, biological substances, and human body parts, all moving in complicated manners across geographical landscapes. Focusing on both the Shia- and Sunni-dominant Muslim countries of the Middle East, she explores the Islamic "local moral worlds" which inform the movements of reproductive actors in search of human gametes.
