Abstract

[Building on the idea that contraception and assisted reproduction are two sides of a coin, Managing Reproduction looks at the influence the “population problem” discourse had on the medical field of assisted reproduction. This discourse claimed that certain countries urgently needed to implement family planning programmes to halt their population growth. This materialised in the creation of government and non-government research institutions and projects focused on researching the biological bases of reproduction and the perception and social implications of managing reproduction, as well as on offering family planning services. Eventually, this discourse pushed the association for an epistemic shift, transforming the field, and continuing the establishment of the epistemic and material infrastructure upon which the assisted reproductive system was being built.]
