摘要

根据对加纳40名告密者和南非74名告密者的研究，我们探讨了在使用辅助生殖的工作人员和患者中进行的精神干预。这些实践和信仰的表达强化了医护人员和患者作为道德主体的地位，他们尽一切可能帮助进行变幻莫测的辅助生殖——这是另一种支持、补充和加强高科技干预的护理形式。我们考虑在诊所中创造神圣的空间，形成试管婴儿实践的一部分的仪式，以及当辅助生殖技术（ARTs）传播到不同的文化和宗教背景时的翻译困境。

The Divine in the Clinic: Assisted Reproduction and Religious Practice in Ghana and South Africa.

Drawing on studies with 40 informants in Ghana and 74 informants in South Africa, we explore spiritual interventions among staff and patients that accompany their use of assisted reproduction. These practices and expressions of faith reinforce staff and patients as moral subjects who have done everything possible to assist in the vagaries of assisted reproduction-another form of care to enable, complement, and enhance high-tech intervention. We consider the creation of sacred spaces in the clinics, the rituals that form part of IVF practice, and the dilemmas of translation when assisted reproductive technologies (ARTs) travel to different cultural and religious contexts.

期刊介绍： Journal of Religion and Health is an international publication concerned with the creative partnership of psychology and religion/sprituality and the relationship between religion/spirituality and both mental and physical health. This multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary journal publishes peer-reviewed original contributions from scholars and professionals of all religious faiths. Articles may be clinical, statistical, theoretical, impressionistic, or anecdotal. Founded in 1961 by the Blanton-Peale Institute, which joins the perspectives of psychology and religion, Journal of Religion and Health explores the most contemporary modes of religious thought with particular emphasis on their relevance to current medical and psychological research.
