Parenthood in the era of Reproductive Outsourcing and Global Assemblages
GUPTA, Jyotsna Agnihotri Ewha Womans University Press 2012 Asian Journal of Women's Studies(AJWS) Vol.18 No.1
Technologies to assist reproduction are deconstructing conventional scripts regarding age, parenting and sexuality. Helping individuals and infertile couples with a child wish has become a thriving global business. Women’s reproductive bodies and their reproductive body parts have been turned into commodities that are donated or traded. Several centers all over the world are dealing in reproductive body parts, and functioning as global assembly points. Advocates of surrogacy point out the advantages for both intending parents and surrogates, arguing for its regulation. Women’s health and rights advocates on the other hand argue that the practice commodifies women and should be legally banned. Feminists are divided in their response to these technologies, particularly over whether they enhance women’s agency and subjectivity or not. These developments and competing frameworks of analysis pose new challenges not only for women’s rights advocates, but also for sociologists researching on the family, health policy makers, legislators and bioethicists.
Mothers for life? Exploring emotional vulnerability of Indian commercial surrogate mothers
Gupta Jyotsna Agnihotri,Bakker Suzanne Merlijn 이화여자대학교 아시아여성학센터 2022 Asian Journal of Women's Studies(AJWS) Vol.28 No.1
In this article, we look at the predicament of Indian commercial surrogates and how they cope with the knowledge that the child they are carrying must be relinquished by them soon after delivery. How can a surrogate distance herself emotionally from the baby she is carrying? And to what extent is she supported by other surrogates, her family members and the social environment? Much has been written about the economic and social vulnerability of Indian surrogates. We would like to focus in particular on their emotional vulnerability. Following Rogers et al. (2012a), we ask what are the sources of these women’s vulnerability? How do they handle it? Our observations are based on literature review, and empirical research, the latter conducted by the second author in a clinic in South India. To conclude we suggest that the regulation in the making on surrogacy needs to be context and individual sensitive in order to address this aspect of their vulnerability.
