The afterlife of birth control policies in Mexico
We analyze the normalization of tubal ligation in Mexico by examining both the institutional perspective of health professionals and the experiences of racialized mestiza women who opt for sterilization. Using qualitative methods, we conducted in-depth interviews with 25 low-income mestiza women who underwent sterilization, and six health professionals. Additionally, we held three art-based workshops and conducted observation in a state-subsidize…
Geographies of reproductive justice
Contemporary struggles for reproductive rights across the globe once more show how politics shape intimate reproductive experiences. The intersectional feminist concept of reproductive justice has become an important political and theoretical agenda to address power relations in the realm of reproductive rights. We argue that the justice-based approach of the concept can serve as an umbrella for debates taking place in diverse subdisciplinary fie…
An Autoethnographic Exploration of My Breast Cancer Journey
In this essay, I discuss my personal experience with breast cancer, exploring three intertwined choices: declining medical egg freezing, choosing not to bear children, and opting out of breast reconstruction after a double mastectomy. Through autoethnography, I narrate how being an immigrant Latina cisgender lesbian in Europe influenced my decision-making processes. Challenging common assumptions about the invariably negative emotional impact on …
Egg freezing, genetic relatedness, and motherhood
Genetic relatedness figures heavily in contemporary ethical debates on egg freezing, although the arguments lack empirical‐based evidence. Rather than adding another theoretical view on the moral relevance of genetic connections, this paper instead proposes an empirically grounded perspective based on two independent qualitative interview‐based studies conducted in Belgium and France. Three themes emerge from our empirical data: (1) prioritizing …
Exploring Medical Egg Freezing as a Disease Management Strategy
Medical egg freezing (MEF) allows women with fertility-threatening diseases to have their oocytes cryopreserved and stored for later use. Endometriosis is a common gynecological disease that might cause infertility. Qualitative research on endometriosis patients' experiences with MEF is minimal. I report on in-depth interviews among French endometriosis patients undertaking MEF. Their experiences are profoundly shaped by endometriosis-related pai…
Autoconservation ovocytaire dite sociale en France
Contrairement à d’autres pays, la France, à travers les lois de bioéthique, n’autorise l’autoconservation ovocytaire (c’est-à-dire, la « vitrification » ou la congélation ultra-rapide d’ovocytes dans la perspective d’une utilisation ultérieure pour soi) que dans deux cas. Le premier, dans le cadre d’une prise en charge médicale ; le deuxième, dans le cadre d’un don d’ovocytes. Les femmes dont la maladie ou le traitement médical portent atteinte à…
Gestación subrogada
El presente ensayo busca contribuir al debate sobre la gestación subrogada en México, a partir de una revisión de la bibliografía etnográfica en sociología y antropología. Esta provee una descripción invaluable, contextual y detallada del fenómeno a partir del haber "estado ahí", permitiendo matizar las afirmaciones universalistas, abstractas y victimistas sobre la práctica y acerca de las personas que participan en ella. Las etnografías sobre "g…
"California define qué es "consentimiento sexual
En años recientes, el consentimiento sexual ha sido considerado una llave maestra para evitar la violencia sexual en las relaciones sexuales. En 2014, Jerry Brown, gobernador de California, aprobó una ley para agregar la sección 67386 al Código de Educación. Ésta incluye la primera definición de "consentimiento afirmativo" en Estados Unidos de América. Para ser válido, la aquiescencia debe ser explícita, afirmativa, consciente, voluntaria y la ex…
Consentimiento sexual
El objetivo de este artículo es argumentar que el consentimiento sexual es un fenómeno social con marca de género que colabora con la dominación masculina al reproducir el modelo dicotómico de hombre-activo/mujer-pasiva. El fenómeno descarga en las mujeres la responsabilidad de establecer límites a los avances masculinos, naturalizados y manifiestos culturalmente como inevitables. El texto expone y discute las principales corrientes teóricas desd…
