{"product_id":"kin-gene-community-daphna-birenbaum-carmeli-9781845456887","title":"Kin, Gene, Community: Reproductive Technologies Among Jewish Israelis","description":"\u003cp\u003e Israel is the only country in the world that offers free fertility treatments to nearly any woman who requires medical assistance. It also has the world's highest per capita usage of in-vitro fertilization. Examining state policies and the application of reproductive technologies among Jewish Israelis, this volume explores the role of tradition and politics in the construction of families within local Jewish populations. The contributors-anthropologists, bioethicists, jurists, physicians and biologists-highlight the complexities surrounding these treatments and show how biological relatedness is being construed as a technology of power; how genetics is woven into the production of identities; how reproductive technologies enhance the policing of boundaries. Donor insemination, IVF and surrogacy, as well as abortion, pre-implantation genetic diagnosis and human embryonic stem cell research, are explored within local and global contexts to convey an informed perspective on the wider Jewish Israeli environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Daphna Birenbaum-Carmeli\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1845456882\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781845456887\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Berghahn Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/01\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 344\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.56lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.88d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eScitech Book News\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2010 pg. 112","brand":"Daphna Birenbaum-Carmeli","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44125462462719,"sku":"9781845456887","price":145.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2f5efb33-d53e-4112-aa25-16023916f8fd.jpg?v=1687442765","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/kin-gene-community-daphna-birenbaum-carmeli-9781845456887","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
