A philosopher examines the social implications of assisted reproductive technologies at the intersection of race, medicine, and bioethics.
The use of assisted reproductive technologies (ART)in vitro fertilization, artificial insemination, and gestational surrogacychallenges contemporary notions of what it means to be parents or families. Camisha A. Russell argues that these technologies also bring new insight to ideas and questions surrounding race. She does this in part by reframing ART, as medical technologies that also act as technologies of kinship.
Thinking about race in terms of technology brings together the common academic insight that race is a social construction with the equally important insight that race is a political tool used in different contexts for a variety of ends. As Russell explores ideas about race through their role in ART, she brings together social and political views to shift debates from what race is to what race does, how it is used, and what effects it has had in the world.
