Resumo
Luiz Costa's review of Sienna Craig's *The Ends of Kinship* focuses on the book's exploration of the evolving understanding of kinship in the face of assisted reproductive technologies (ARTs). Craig's work challenges traditional notions of kinship by examining how ARTs disrupt and reshape biological and social connections. The review highlights Craig's ethnographic approach, which draws on case studies from various cultural contexts to illustrate the diverse ways individuals and families navigate the complexities of ARTs. Costa commends Craig's nuanced analysis of the ethical, legal, and social implications of these technologies, particularly regarding the redefinition of parenthood, family structures, and the very concept of relatedness. The review also points to the book's contribution to anthropological discussions of kinship, reproduction, and the impact of technological advancements on human relationships.
