Reproductive tourism, through the anthropological “reproscope”
Nahman, Michal
Authors
Abstract
This review analyses the emerging literature on ‘reproductive tourism’ through a metaphorical ‘reproscope’ focusing largely on cross-border egg donation and surrogacy as the prime areas of contemporary anthropological investigation. Whilst acknowledging that ‘reproductive travel’ is not new, the paper recognises that there is an increased volume of such travel. It provides an overview of the major areas of anthropological investigation into these transnational phenomena, globalisation, stratification, exploitation, race, nationalism, religion, biopower and bioethics. Whilst so doing, it suggests these areas of investigation may tell us about the preoccupations of anthropology today. Namely, what kind of discipline it imagines itself to be?
