You should put your heart and soul into it”
Birth doulas face significant challenges in being acknowledged as care professionals due to systemic barriers, lack of recognition from midwives and obstetricians, and lack of formal employment status or professional regulation. In the highly medicalized childbirth setting in Turkey, birth doulas face restrictive regulations and limited support, constraining their ability to provide comprehensive care. Through interviews with birth doulas in Turk…
What is the cure for absolute infertility? Biomedicalisation and routinisation of surrogacy and uterus transplantation in Nordic medical journals
This article investigates 20 years of discursive struggles in Nordic medical journals around the process of legitimating and routinising gestational surrogacy and uterus transplantation in Finland and Sweden.

The study underscores the importance of u…

In both countries, references to religion have been prevalent in policy processes and parliamentary debates on these issues, with Christian Democrats actively promoting bioethics. The article analyses references to religion and the role of national churches and Ch…
Assisted Reproduction Across Borders
According to Meira Weiss (2002) Israeli society is obsessed with fertility, in a way that not only focuses on “quality” and the so called quest for the perfect baby, but also on “quantity”. Israel’s assisted reproductive policies are considered to be highly pronatalist. It has more fertility clinics per capita than any other country in the world and Israelis are by far the biggest consumers of fertility treatment in the world. Assisted reproducti…
