Abstract

Reproduction is considered a core event in a cisgender heterosexual woman's life. Several hierarchies exist within the field of reproduction, with reproduction being privileged among people from dominant races, classes, castes, ages, and abilities. In this paper, I explore uterine transplantion as an emerging mode of reproduction, which privileges the experience of pregnancy in addition to genetic relatedness, specifically within the Indian context. The focus is on the socio-cultural and economic discourses surrounding the marketisation of reproductive technologies and how these recalibrate social and familial dynamics concerning reproduction. I argue that the mobilisation of the language of reproduction as a right could potentially transform into reproduction as a duty. Reproductive biopolitics is used as a lens to think through the value of wombs in relation to the bodies they inhabit, and the pressures the marketisation of wombs puts on both recipients and donors.

印度子宫移植背景下的生殖未来。
生育被认为是顺性异性恋女性生活中的核心事件。在生殖领域存在着几种等级制度,在主流种族、阶级、种姓、年龄和能力的人群中,生殖享有特权。在本文中,我将探讨子宫移植作为一种新兴的生殖模式,除了遗传亲缘关系外,它还赋予怀孕体验以特权,特别是在印度背景下。重点是围绕生殖技术市场化的社会文化和经济论述,以及这些论述如何重新调整有关生殖的社会和家庭动态。我认为,"生育是一种权利 "的语言可能会转变为 "生育是一种义务"。生殖生物政治学被用作一个透镜,用来思考子宫与其所居住的身体之间的价值关系,以及子宫市场化给接受者和捐赠者带来的压力。
