摘要

辅助生殖技术已经大大扩展,并且经常使用革命的语言。过去二十年见证了西班牙再市场的重大变革,其中一些与一种冷冻技术有关:玻璃化。这种冷冻技术往往也被专业人士认为是革命性的,即使是以一种更谦逊的方式:一种有能力彻底改变生殖实验室的技术。以冷冻卵母细胞的能力而闻名,玻璃化的引入和同化意味着西班牙诊所和西班牙更广泛的生殖行业的许多转变。本文从实验室的角度描述了玻璃化的作用,借鉴了对专业人员的采访和对实验室工作的观察,并着重于这些变化,包括但不限于冷冻卵母细胞。我认为玻璃化已经增加了冷冻保存在西班牙生殖实验室的作用,扩大了战略的使用,短期冷冻胚胎。这是作为“低温医疗化”转向的一部分来讨论的,使用Charlotte kroll økke和Anna Sofie Bach的术语,在生育后期和强大的生殖市场的背景下,通过优化和预防扩大了医疗化的范围。

The Role of Vitrification in Spanish Reproductive Labs: A Cryo-revolution Led by Strategic Freezing
Assisted reproductive technologies have expanded vastly and are frequently addressed using the language of revolution. The last two decades witnessed important transformations in Spanish repromarkets, some of which are linked to one freezing technique: vitrification. This cryotechnique tends to be presented by professionals as revolutionary as well, even if in a humbler way: a technique with the capacity to revolutionize reproductive labs. Celebrated for its ability to freeze oocytes, the introduction and assimilation of vitrification have implied many transformations in Spanish clinics and the broader reproductive industry in Spain. This paper describes the role of vitrification from the point of view of the labs, drawing on interviews with professionals and observations of laboratory work, and focusing on the changes, which include but are not restricted to freezing oocytes. I argue that vitrification has increased the role of cryopreservation in reproductive labs overall in Spain, expanding the use of strategic, short-term freezing of embryos. This is discussed as part of a “cryomedicalized” turn, using Charlotte Kroløkke and Anna Sofie Bach’s term, which enlarges the scope of medicalization through optimization and prevention, in the context of late reproduction and a strong reproductive market.

期刊介绍: As scientific advances improve our lives, they also complicate how we live and react to the new technologies. More and more, human values come into conflict with scientific advancement as we deal with important issues such as nuclear power, environmental degradation and information technology. Science, Technology, & Human Values is a peer-reviewed, international, interdisciplinary journal containing research, analyses and commentary on the development and dynamics of science and technology, including their relationship to politics, society and culture.
