Abstract:
To what extent can innovative reproductive technology contribute to meeting the needs of intended parents and to address women’s health and care issues in different milieus? This paper adopts a combined critical materialist feminism and philosophical perspective and examines the discourses and policy developments found in the cross-border assisted reproduction technology (ART), the US’s and the World Bank’s development and family planning policy in Africa. The paper argues for re-framing an ontological and epistemological space of ‘the political’ which can provide a robust ethical basis for accommodating diverse conflicting requirements and setting rules in a transnational shared health governance.
