Contradictions of Fertility Holidays
Contradictions of Fertility Holidays
This chapter deconstructs the fundamental contradictions embedded within this global care chain. Czech fertility clinics are global checkout lanes for North American global bio-citizens opting to purchase IVF with egg donation. Yet the economic nature of these transactions are minimized by affective discourse and the intimate labor provided by Czech clinics and accommodations. This chapter considers the ways in which women’s bodies are implicated in the contradictory aspects of “fertility holiday” abroad.
