Available Open Access digitally under CC-BY-NC-ND licence. This book presents an in-depth analysis of the complex and often controversial world of fertility care. Drawing on extensive ethnographic research and interviews with patients and professionals, the book critically examines the tensions between evidence-based medicine and the demands of an increasingly commercialized fertility care industry. It sheds light on controversial "add-on" treatments, and an emerging hope market. With its interdisciplinary approach, this is an essential resource for readers in the fields of science and technology studies and medical sociology.
