Description
Dubai has become a destination for those seeking fertility treatment, with thousands of couples from around the world turning to its "cosmopolitan" IVF clinic. In Cosmopolitan Conceptions, Marcia C. Inhorn sheds light on the stories of 220 individuals from fifty countries who have traveled there in search of safe and effective IVF services. These reprotravelers face significant hardships, including financial burden, danger, and frustration, as they navigate a system that often fails to meet their reproductive needs. Their experiences offer a glimpse into the complex world of infertility, one that is marked by pain, fear, and uncertainty. Inhorn's work highlights the need for new forms of activism and advocacy, aimed at developing alternative pathways to parenthood and reducing preventable forms of infertility worldwide.
