| Description | Sociological analysis of lesbians' use of the medical fertility treatments. The author argues that reproduction has become a medicalized process for lesbians, who are transformed into fertility patients because of their sexual identities. She argues that this medicalization shapes queer subjectivities in both productive and troubling ways, destabilizing the assumed link between heterosexuality and parenthood while also reinforcing traditional ideals about motherhood and the imperative to reproduce. She explores questions about the legal rights of co-parents, concerns about the genetic risks of choosing an anonymous sperm donor, and the ways decisions to become parents affect sexual and political identities. |
