《The Making of the Unborn Patient: A Social Anatomy of Fetal Surgery》

作者：Casper, Monica J.著

 

This is the first book to examine the emergence of fetal surgery as a new medical specialty and the debut of the unborn patient. Since its inception, fetal surgery has been highly controversial; it is risky, expensive, and fraught with peril for both women and their fetuses. It is proceeding rapidly without careful reflection about what it means and without public debate about its consequences. Drawing on a wide range of sources, Monica Casper shows how biomedical work has intersected with reproductive politics for three decades to generate new cultural meanings of fetuses, women, and medicine itself. In this ethnographic study of the social, cultural, and historical aspects of fetal surgery, Casper addresses the medical, political, and ethical questions raised by these still largely experimental procedures.
