A perfect match
This article examines how expanded carrier screening (ECS) – a genomic test based on whole-genome sequencing – has been integrated into Spain’s assisted reproductive technology sector. Marketed as a tool to enhance reproductive safety and personalization, ECS has become increasingly routinized within third-party gamete in vitro fertilization (IVF) through its use in genetic matching (GM), a technique that identifies shared genetic risks between d…
The emergence of egg intermediaries in the European fertility landscape
With recent growth in both domestic and global private health care markets and increased medical travel by patients, there has been an increase in the existence of medical mediation services. Whilst there is a developing scholarship that considers the brokerage of this travel, less attention has been paid to other forms of medical facilitation. Taking the example of fertility treatment - specifically egg donation - this paper examines how interme…
Regulation and Altruism as Valuation Mechanisms
Recent science and technology studies (STS) debates on valuation mechanisms have highlighted how social, ethical, and political values are embedded in scientific and technological practices-particularly through regulation and market design. In this context, scholars working on assisted reproductive technologies (ART) have examined how bodies, tissues, and reproductive labor are integrated into market economies structured by transnational inequali…
Eggonomics
Regulations governing assisted reproduction control the degree to which gamete donation is legal and how people providing genetic material are selected and compensated. The United States and Spain are both global leaders in fertility treatment with donor oocytes. Yet both countries take different approaches to how egg donation is regulated. The US model reveals a hierarchically organized form of gendered eugenics. In Spain, the eugenic aspects of…
Global Fertility Chains
Over the last two decades, social scientists across disciplines have been researching how value is extracted and governed in the reproductive bioeconomy, which broadly refers to the various ways reproductive tissues, bodies, services, customers, workers, and data are inserted into capitalist modes of accumulation. While many of these studies are empirically grounded in single country-based analyses, this paper proposes an integrative political ec…
Institutional trustworthiness and national security governance
This article examines the relationship between the institutional trustworthiness of security agencies in the context of data‐intensive security practices. It focuses on the public's acceptance of the way digital surveillance technologies feed into large‐scale security data analytics. Using the case of deep packet inspection (DPI), survey data gathered in six European countries ( n = 1,202) demonstrates that security agencies' institutional trustw…
Oocyte provision as a (quasi) social market
Beyond the security paradox
This article investigates the normative and procedural criteria adopted by European citizens to assess the acceptability of surveillance-oriented security technologies. It draws on qualitative data gathered at 12 citizen summits in nine European countries. The analysis identifies 10 criteria, generated by citizens themselves, for a socially informed security policy. These criteria not only reveal the conditions, purposes and operation rules that …
Avivar el debate y apagar el fuego
La magnitud de los incendios que cada ao arrasan la superficie forestal obliga al replanteamiento de las medidas y las herramientas disponibles en la lucha contra el fuego. En este artculo proponemos un enfoque alternativo en la problematizacin de esta grave situacin, a partir de la co-produccin entre sociedad civil, polticos y expertos, de un marco regulativo de uso y desarrollo responsable y socialmente aceptado de nuevas tecnologas eficaces en…
Las bioeconomías de la provisión de óvulos en Estados Unidos y en España
Los sistemas reguladores que controlan la reproduccin con la participacin de terceros determinan el modo en que las personas que donan materiales y trabajo reproductivos -vulos, esperma y servicios de gestacin subrogada-son escogidas y compensadas. Estados Unidos y Espaa tienen regulaciones muy diferentes en lo que concierne a la reproduccin con terceros, pero ambos son lderes mundiales en la prestacin de tratamientos de fertilidad con donantes d…
A Systemic Approach to Security
The concept of security has shifted from territorial integrity to human security and, after 9/11, to pre-emptive security. Based on the massive implementation of surveillance-oriented security technologies (SOSTs), pre-emptive security emphasizes anticipation of threats and risk management. While liberty and security get framed as standing in a trade-off, SOSTs are massively deployed to increase security. Due to the mutually constitutive relation…
IVF as a looking glass
Cisgenics as emerging bio-objects
Cisgenesis is a genetic modification of a recipient organism with genetic material from a crossable organism. Trying to free cisgenics from the regulatory guidelines of genetically modified organisms (GMOs), some scientists have suggested to classify the genetically modified products by the origin of transferred genes. Aiming at exploring how scientists frame cisgenics in relation to current legal frameworks, we have sent an extensive survey to t…
The Bioeconomy as Political Project
The bioeconomy is becoming increasingly prominent in policy and scholarly literature, but critical examination of the concept is lacking. We argue that the bioeconomy should be understood as a political project, not simply or primarily as a technoscientific or economic one. We use a conceptual framework derived from the work of Karl Polanyi to elucidate the politically performative nature of the bioeconomy through an analysis of an influential Or…
Public assessment of new surveillance-oriented security technologies
As surveillance-oriented security technologies (SOSTs) are considered security enhancing but also privacy infringing, citizens are expected to trade part of their privacy for higher security. Drawing from the PRISE project, this study casts some light on how citizens actually assess SOSTs through a combined analysis of focus groups and survey data. First, the outcomes suggest that people did not assess SOSTs in abstract terms but in relation to t…
Beyond the Geneticization Thesis
In the last decade, preimplantation genetic testing (preimplantation genetic diagnosis [PGD] and preimplantation genetic screening [PGS]) have become widely used and in 2005 constituted 5 percent of all in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycles performed in Europe. Their diffusion, however, is not homogenous; while in some countries they are prohibited and in others hardly implemented, Spain performs 33 percent of all the PGD/PGS. While policy guidelin…
