Donors by Petra Nordqvist
Drawing on interviews with donors, their kin and fertility counsellors, the authors discuss what donation stories can tell us about contemporary understandings of connectedness, time and morality in the context of reproduction and family life, and consider how reproductive 'openness' might be done differently.. . a timely and valuable addition to the existing literature on (donor-)ARTs. It offers unique perspectives and weaves together a coherent narrative in which each part builds on each other. The book will undoubtedly resonate with many scholars and students of the sociology of health and illness interested in donation and social relations.
