Book excerpt: What does it mean to be a man in our biomedical day and age? Through ethnographic explorations of the everyday lives of Danish sperm donors, Being a Sperm Donor explores how masculinity and sexuality are reconfigured in a time in which the norms and logics of (reproductive) biomedicine have become ordinary. It investigates men’s moral reasoning regarding donation, their handling of transgressive experiences at the sperm bank, and their negotiations of gender, sexuality, intimacy, and relatedness, showing how the socio-cultural and political dimensions of (reproductive) biomedicine become intertwined with men’s intimate sense of self.

Download or read book Random Families written by Rosanna Hertz and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2018-11-16 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The ready availability of donated sperm and eggs has made possible an entirely new form of family. Children of the same donor and their families, with the help of the internet, can now locate each other and make contact. Sometimes this network of families form meaningful connections that blossom into longstanding groups, and close friendships. This book is about unprecedented families that have grown up at the intersection of new reproductive technologies, social media and the human desire for belonging. Random Families asks: Do shared genes make you a family? What do couples do when they discover that their children shares half their DNA with a dozen or more other offspring from the same sperm donor? What do kids find in common with their donor siblings? What becomes of these chance networks once parents and donor siblings find one another? Based on over 350 interviews with children (ages 10-28) and their parents from all over the U.S., Random Families chronicles the chain of choices that couples and single mothers make from what donor to use to how to participate (or not) in donor sibling networks. Children reveal their understanding of a donor, the donor's spot on the family tree and the meaning of their donor siblings. Through rich first-person accounts of network membership, the book illustrates how these extraordinary relationships -- woven from bits of online information and shared genetic ties -- are transformed into new possibilities for kinship. Random Families offers down-to-earth stories from real families to highlight just how truly distinctive these contemporary new forms of family are." -- Publisher's description
Book Synopsis The Gift of Embryo Donation by : Irene Celcer
Download or read book The Gift of Embryo Donation written by Irene Celcer and published by Graphite Press. This book was released on 2006 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As outspoken in his day as Richard Dawkins or Christopher Hitchens are today, American freethinker and author ROBERT GREEN INGERSOLL (1833-1899) was a notorious radical whose uncompromising views on religion and slavery (they were bad, in his opinion), women's suffrage (a good idea, he believed), and other contentious matters of his era made him a wildly popular orator and critic of 19th-century American culture and public life. As a speaker dedicated to expanding intellectual horizons and celebrating the value of skepticism, Ingersoll spoke frequently on such topics as atheism, freedom from the pressures of conformity, and the lives of philosophers who espoused such concepts. This collection of his most famous speeches includes the lectures: [ "The Gods" (1872) [ "Humboldt" (1869) [ "Thomas Paine" (1870) [ "Individuality" (1873) [ "Heretics and Heresies" (1874)

Download or read book Conceiving People written by Daniel Groll and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2021-08-24 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is an open access title available under the terms of a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 International license. It is free to read at Oxford Scholarship Online and offered as a free PDF download from OUP and selected open access locations. Each year, tens of thousands of children are conceived with donated gametes (sperm or eggs). By some estimates, there are over one million donor-conceived people in the United States and, of course, many more the world over. Some know they are donor-conceived. Some do not. Some know the identity of their donors. Others never will. Questions about what donor-conceived people should know about their genetic progenitors are hugely significant for literally millions of people, including donor-conceived people, their parents, and donors. But the practice of gamete donation also provides a vivid occasion for thinking about questions that matter to everyone. What is the value of knowing who your genetic progenitors are? How are our identities bound up with knowing where we come from? What obligations do parents have to their children? And what makes someone a parent in the first place? In Conceiving People: Identity, Genetics and Gamete Donation, Daniel Groll argues that people who plan to create a child with donated gametes should choose a donor whose identity will be made available to the resulting child. This is not, Groll argues, because having genetic knowledge is fundamentally important. Rather, it is because donor-conceived people are likely to develop a significant interest in having genetic knowledge and parents must help satisfy their children's significant interests. In other words, because a donor-conceived person is likely to care about having genetic knowledge, their parents should care too.

Book Synopsis Human Artificial Insemination and Semen Preservation by : Georges David
Download or read book Human Artificial Insemination and Semen Preservation written by Georges David and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 611 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Even though artificial insemination is a simple technique that has been practiced for over a century, it has long been carried out under poor conditions due to an inadequate understanding of repro ductive physiology and antagonistic socio-ethical attitudes. Accor dingly, until fairly recently it was a medical act with a limited scientific basis which was practised more or less clandestinely. The development of semen preservation has totally changed the conditions of artificial insemination, especially in regard to flexibility and safeguards in its application. Although the use of fresh semen continues, it is now clear that the future of arti ficial insemination is closely linked to semen preservation. During the past two decades, semen banks have been developed in many countries. This has most often been the result of the initiative of individual physicians in either the private or public sectors. In France, a national system of semen banks (CECOS) was begun in 1973. Although there has been cooperation within this system in the areas of both research and management, a need to com municate and compare experiences with those from other countries was perceived. Thus, the first International Symposium on Artifi cial Insemination and Semen Preservation was planned and held in Paris, France in April 1979. Thirty-seven countries were represented byihdividuals from many concerned disciplines.
Book Synopsis Scattered Seeds by : Jacqueline Mroz
Download or read book Scattered Seeds written by Jacqueline Mroz and published by Seal Press. This book was released on 2017-06-06 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As typical as donor-conceived children have become, with at least a million such children in the US alone, their experiences are still unusual in many ways. In Scattered Seeds, journalist and writer Jacqueline Mroz looks at the growth of sperm donation and assisted reproduction and how it affects the children who are born, the women who buy and use the sperm to have kids, and the sperm donors who donate their genetic material to help others procreate. With empathy and in-depth analysis, Scattered Seeds explores the sociology, psychology, and anthropology surrounding those connected with fertility procedures today and looks back at the history that brought us to this point. The personal stories in this book will put a human face on the issues and help to illuminate this country's controversial and troubling unregulated fertility industry-an industry that has been compared to the Wild, Wild West, where anything goes. What is the human cost of our country's unregulated fertility industry? How are the lives of sperm-donor families changed? Scattered Seeds will answer those questions, considering carefully the social and psychological dynamics surrounding those connected with fertility procedures today.
Book Synopsis Sperm Donation, Single Women and Filiation by : Elena Ignovska
Download or read book Sperm Donation, Single Women and Filiation written by Elena Ignovska and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although recent family law debates have been predominantly paedo-centric, the founding of bio-medically assisted families still focuses on the individual parents rights to reproduce. By introducing donations, the donors genetic contribution becomes instrumental and the legal attribution of parenthood negotiated through expressed intentions. This book provokes the curious mind and clarifies concepts, studies the rationale behind the legal complexity in ten national European jurisdictions, and confronts the rights and responsibilities of the stakeholders, providing a balanced independent conclusion and suggestions towards international harmonisation.
Book Synopsis Get Pregnant for Free on the Internet with a Private Sperm Donor Without Having Sex Or Paying $$$ to a Sperm Bank by : Joe Donor
Download or read book Get Pregnant for Free on the Internet with a Private Sperm Donor Without Having Sex Or Paying $$$ to a Sperm Bank written by Joe Donor and published by . This book was released on 2014-03-12 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This guide is for couples who need donor sperm due to vasectomy, azoospermia, Klinefelter's Syndrome, or other male-factor infertility, for lesbians, and for single-by-choice moms who want to get pregnant for free without using a sperm bank, especially women who want to know how to get pregnant without having sex. It is also for the men who want to become free sperm donors in order to help them. This book is different from almost every other book on the market about getting pregnant by donor insemination. Most books on donor insemination are written by women, especially lesbians or women in heterosexual couples suffering from male factor infertility. This creates a certain bias in the other books that are available out there. They focus more on the recipient's emotional needs, how to assuage her fears and anxieties, but do not focus on the technical aspects of how to best succeed in this endeavor. There is a valid role for this type of book. However, my book looks at the technical aspects of donor insemination, how to get the best results, and succeed in more pregnancies and sooner. For example, the recipient's fears and anxieties can become a huge obstacle that must be overcome in order to succeed, so the focus in my book is how to overcome the fears and anxieties in order to succeed in getting her pregnant rather than how to help her feel better about them. With more than two dozen successes, I bring a proven understanding of which technical methods achieve results and which do not that few other authors can match. Not only is their perspective different, female author will only have participated in one or at most two pregnancies, they may speak from their experience as the partner and provider of emotional support and may not even have given birth to a single child or even been present for the conception. This book is unlikely to provide much in the way of emotional support, but it is going to provide technical expertise in achieving pregnancy I doubt you will find elsewhere. Read our reviews: "A masterfully written book on sperm donating and receiving! In easy to understand language, the author has written a concise guide for both recipients and donors alike interested in either donating or receiving private sperm donations. The author cuts through a lot of technical language, in such a way that the average person can understand private sperm donating to the point where they can easily receive samples and do it in their own private area, safely, and to their own optimal benefit to become pregnant. A fascinating book, with detailed insemination techniques, how to select donors, what type of questions to ask, how to protect anonymity and the such. With ever-growing interest in private sperm donating, this book written by an experienced sperm donor, offers many valuable tips to help facilitate a safe and optimal chance at getting pregnant. A must have book for those interested in private sperm donating and receiving!" "For couples with male fertility problems, or women who don't have a male partner, in the past their only choice was a fertility clinic. But fertility clinics are expensive and often not covered by insurance. This book covers an alternative: a world where there are private donors who are willing to share their sperm for free. This book discusses the various issues around using a private donor, and then gets very practical - it describes where to find a donor, what to ask them, how to know when to perform an insemination, and how to go about doing it. Everything you need to know in a simple, practical manner." "I appreciate the ease of reading and understanding this guide. I had a few questions about timing insemination at first but once I read this guide ALL my questions and uncertainties were answered. I believe this will help many women who have any questions regarding trying to conceive with a online donor. The pictures were helpful as well, they give more understanding on everything."

Book Synopsis How to Ship Sperm on the Internet by : Joe Donor

Explains in detail how recipients can protect their privacy. It explains in detail with many photographs, drawings, and other images how to time insemination by predicating ovulation with the OPK (ovulation prediction kit, with detailed explanation of various types of test and how to read them), by charting basal temperatures, by evaluating changes in cervical mucus, by evaluating changes in the position of the cervix, and by being aware of mittelschmerz (ovulation pains). It explains what to do when the unexpected, such as two ovulations in one cycle, happens. The book then summarizes key dates in the woman's reproductive cycle.

It explains when to start taking the home pregnancy test (HPT), with many pictures of test results. Praise for the ebook version from Amazon 5-star reviews: - This book was very informative as a woman this book taught me things about TTC. It also addresses things that a recipient may not think about because her mind is only focused on the BFP. It is a quick read but a must read. I would recommend this book to any woman, especially lesbian women ttc and any woman who is tired of paying the high price of the use of a cryobank. - For couples with male fertility problems, or women who don't have a male partner, in the past their only option to conceive a baby was a fertility clinic. But fertility clinics are expensive and often not covered by insurance. This book covers a viable, inexpensive alternative: private donors who are willing to share their sperm for free. This book discusses the various issues around using a private donor, and then gets very practical - it describes where to find a donor, what to ask them, how to know when to perform an insemination, and how to go about doing it. This guide covers the steps involved in using a donor who is located elsewhere and who ships chilled semen using an overnight delivery service. Everything you need to know in a simple, practical manner. Note that another alternative is to find a donor who is located nearby and who can give you a fresh sample, and eliminate the shipping step. If you can find a local donor, that is an even better solution as the sample will be fresher and you eliminate the costs and restrictions of shipping. Most of the information in this guide will still apply. - Good book! Very easy to read: )

Download or read book Acupuncture for IVF and Assisted Reproduction - E-Book written by Irina Szmelskyj and published by Elsevier Health Sciences. This book was released on 2014-09-18 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The management of infertility using acupuncture is an expanding area of practice and one which is frequently rewarding for TCM acupuncture practitioners. Acupuncture for IVF and Assisted Reproduction has been specially prepared to meet the growing demand for information in this area and draws upon 20 years combined experience of the authors together with the latest evidence from both orthodox medicine and TCM. Richly illustrated and clearly written throughout, the book takes the reader through the anatomy and physiology of reproductive medicine (from both an orthodox and TCM perspective) and explains the underlying basis of orthodox medical fertility tests and investigations. The volume then explores the pathology and aetiology of TCM syndromes and shows how common fertility-related conditions, such as endometriosis and male factor infertility, affect Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) success rates. It explains in great detail how to take a reproductive medical history and successfully diagnose TCM syndromes. Acupuncture for IVF and Assisted Reproduction also provides guidelines on how to regulate the menstrual cycle in preparation for IVF treatment and shows how lifestyle can affect fertility and ART success rates. Placing a strong emphasis on the practical aspects of patient care, Acupuncture for IVF and Assisted Reproduction contains an abundance of case history templates, algorithmic acupuncture treatment pathways and patient fact sheets and will be ideal for all acupuncture practitioners working in this field. "A must have for the bookshelf of any acupuncturist who is ever called upon to treat fertility issues - if you have room for one book this surely must be it." Reviewed by The Acupuncture Fertility Centre March 2015 "Practitioners of all levels of experience and TCM students should find it compelling reading and an invaluable companion to their learning." Reviewed by Stephen Clarke, Journal of the Australian Traditional Medicine Society May 2015 "This book is extremely well re-searched and referenced."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Violet and Mommy discuss the way Violet was created using the help of a sperm donor, through the metaphor of mixing paints like red and blue to make purple. As the mother of a child conceived via sperm donor, I found that there weren't simple children's books to explain our unique family story the way there were for adoption and other alternative family creation methods. This story is the honest and simple telling that I've used with my own children and I hope helps your family share and learn too.
