Description

Explore the complex intersection of reproductive technology and culture with Local Babies, Global Science by Marcia Inhorn. This book examines the rapid expansion of in vitro fertilization (IVF) technology in Egypt, a nation that has become a Middle East leader in the field, even surpassing neighboring Israel in the number of IVF clinics. Based on extensive fieldwork, the text follows affluent, elite couples navigating the scientific and religious landscapes of Egypt. As a major center for Islamic education, Egypt provides a unique backdrop for understanding how medical advancements from Euro-American origins are adapted within different social frameworks. This work provides a deep look into the gender, scientific, and cultural effects of transferring IVF technology across borders. It is an essential read for those interested in the sociology of medicine, religious studies, and the global movement of biotechnology. Readers gain insight into how modern science meets traditional values in a rapidly changing medical environment.
