Virtuous Indecisiveness
Anthropological engagement with moralities and ethics assumes that people evaluate themselves and others according to their notions of good and bad; yet little is known about how people evaluate the quality of their deliberations. Such evaluations of the seriousness of ethical deliberations prevail in Japan's genetic counseling for pregnant couples considering NIPT, a maternal blood test early in pregnancy that does not endanger the pregnancy but…
Pregnancy and the Reproductive Habitus of Ultra-Orthodox Jewish Women
Anthropological scholarship frames pregnancy as an out of ordinary embodied event, rarely focusing on mothers of more than four children. We interviewed 49 ultra-orthodox Jewish [Haredi] women in Israel and the US who birthed up to 16 children. We suggest that Haredi women are acculturated to the routines of pregnancy, childbirth, and a habitual position of receptiveness toward continuous childbearing as an act of religious devotion. This "circum…
What disasters can reveal about techno-medical birth
Social researchers of childbirth have argued that techno-medical routines of managing childbirth risk are underpinned by worst case scenarios involving disastrous deliveries, with catastrophic consequences for maternal and neonatal health and life. This article looks into childbirth stories that ended safely amidst serious ruptures in techno-medical surveillance. We draw on the childbirth stories of women who gave birth during the 11 March 2011 d…
Shouldering Moral Responsibility
This article contributes to the anthropology of morality through an ethnographic focus on the consultations of religiously observant Jews with rabbis and medical specialists regarding dilemmas surrounding prenatal diagnosis of fetal anomalies. Our ethnography looks at religious couples who consult rabbinic authorities on their reproductive dilemmas rather than making autonomous decisions and the procedures of decision-making that rabbis enact. We…
Pregnant Metaphors and Surrogate Meanings
This article explores the way that surrogacy and normal pregnancy share cultural assumptions about pregnancy. Through a juxtaposition of our ethnographic studies of two groups of Jewish-Israeli women-women who have undergone "normal," low-risk pregnancies and women who have given birth as gestational surrogates-we argue that surrogacy and pregnancy emerge as potent metaphors for one another. Both pregnant women and surrogates divided their bodies…
Obligatory Effort [Hishtadlut] as an Explanatory Model
The Pregnancy Manifesto
This article draws on 200 stories of procreation in an effort to revise a key-narrative about how humans come into being in technological societies. Before assigning Emily Martin's famous article "the egg and the sperm," I asked Israeli undergraduates to explain to a beloved girl how children come into the world. Their narratives included detailed accounts of sperm-ovum encounters as if envisioned through a microscope; the process of pregnancy wa…
Les dilemmes du diagnostic prénatal cacher et la montée d'un nouveau leadership rabbinique
Cet article montre comment un institut de consultants rabbiniques qui se donne pour but de forger des moyens « cacher » - conformes à la halakha (loi juive) - d'utilisation de diagnostics prénataux d'anomalies fœtales parvient à se frayer une voie dans la structure autoritaire complexe du judaïsme observant en Israël. L'institut crée ainsi un espace public qui révèle les désaccords rabbiniques et insiste sur le fait que les dilemmes relatifs à l'…
Halachic Infertility
This article analyzes a public controversy surrounding the hormonal treatment of infertility associated with observance of rabbinic law to illuminate the reach of rabbi-doctor relations in a local configuration of religion and biomedicine that I call "kosher medicine." I combine a historical perspective on the evolution of religious laws governing menstruation, and the rabbi-doctor relations with a contemporary ethnography of these relations and …
God-sent ordeals and their discontents
Kosher medicine and medicalized halacha
Drawing on my ethnography of rabbinically mediated fertility treatments for observant Jewish couples in Israel, I illuminate two simultaneous processes: the koshering of medical care and the medicalization of rabbinic law. My findings show how hands-on rabbinic interventions transform doctor-patient relations into rabbi-doctor-patient relations and introduce a network of power relations into clinical practice, at times empowering and at times dis…
The Ultrasonic Picture Show and the Politics of Threatened Life
This article examines a local version of medical public discourse about fetal images produced through ultrasonography in Israel, where this technology has gained huge popularity. Nevertheless, I argue, ultrasound in Israel has not become engaged in the discursive production of "fetal subjects" central to the Euro-American life politics. Fetal images in Israel have become entangled in a "politics of threatened life": where "life" stands typically …
Expectant Israeli Fathers and the Medicalized Pregnancy
At the Back Stage of Prenatal Care
In this article, I explore the reluctance of Japanese ob-gyns to discuss prenatal diagnosis (PND) tests with pregnant women. The analysis focuses on the culturally specific ways in which ob-gyns formulate their cautiousness and criticism toward PND while invoking a local moral economy. Analyzing ob-gyns' accounts, I show how the ambiguities of PND are constituted in a specific moment in Japanese culture, history, disability politics, and national…
