During everyday encounters, ill individuals are often subjected to the objectifying, evaluative gaze of healthy onlookers, who view them from a detached, third-person perspective. This paper explores interpretations of illness in the context of the genetic blood disorder sickle cell disease in Uganda and Malawi. 11 focus group discussions were held with children above 10 years of age with sickle cell disease, while 18 discussions were performed with caregivers of children with sickle cell disease. Drawing on this data, we describe how social interplay between sickle cell ‘sufferers’, their caregivers, and surrounding ‘spectators’ was coloured by community discourses on death, misconceptions about contagiousness, and attribution of perceived deviance. Beyond clinical features of pain and pathology, sickle cell suffering would take on socially situated forms where the ideas and imageries of ‘observing others’ led to added agony and alienation among affected individuals and their intimates. When addressing the predicament of patients and their families, one should consider how the medical meaning-making and opinions of others may give rise to what we herein refer to as ‘social sites of suffering’.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":49122,"journal":{"name":"Social Science & Medicine","volume":"385 ","pages":"Article 118591"},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2025-09-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145187344","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The impact of trust in the President on support varies depending on the severity of the health threat, economic conditions, and political ideology, while the influence of trust in the state governor on support remains consistent regardless of these factors. To garner public support for health mandates that limit citizens' autonomy and achieve public health objectives, both federal and state leaders need to foster public trust.

We explore the changing medical experiences of second-generation Israeli surrogates, marking a significant new trend that differs from earlier approaches. To this end, we conducted narrative interviews with 47 retired surrogates in Israel between July 2022 and March 2023, employing qualitative methodology and inductive thematic analysis. While first-generation surrogates typically embraced medicalization to create distance between themselves and the pregnancy, our findings demonstrate that contemporary surrogates actively integrate their natural reproductive capabilities into surrogacy protocols. This research suggests that demographic changes—from single mothers with lower socioeconomic status to predominantly middle-class, educated married women—have reshaped surrogate agency. Consequently, we introduce two key concepts: \"repro-tech literacy,\" the specialized knowledge that surrogates acquire to navigate ART along with their embodied knowledge, and \"hybrid model of reproduction,\" where surrogates strategically combine medical advancements with natural capabilities. Contemporary surrogates actively negotiate various medical aspects, including hormonal treatments, embryo transfers, and delivery methods, often challenging standardized protocols that they perceive as unnecessary for IVF patients without reproductive constraints. This research presents new theoretical frameworks that advance our understanding of surrogate agency in reproductive medicine and challenge existing paradigms of medicalization in third-party reproduction. Our findings reflect a broader cultural shift toward selective medicalization and have practical implications for developing more ethical, patient-centered approaches to third-party reproduction.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":49122,"journal":{"name":"Social Science & Medicine","volume":"384 ","pages":"Article 118579"},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2025-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145087909","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
