Abstract
Beyond the laws, different institutions watch over - or veille sur - the access to and practice of medically assisted reproductive care in France. Although a shift in the moral regimes underlying French reproductive governance can be observed, ART practices are monitored through surveillance mechanisms, the economic and medical nature of which conceals their normalizing function. Woman and couples who do not correspond to these norms are prevented from forming a family through the French ART system. In this article we show how, faced with this reproductive exclusion, French women and couples choose to undertake cross-border reproductive care in an attempt to circumvent surveillance and fulfil their reproductive desire.
除了法律之外，不同的机构还对法国医疗辅助生育的获取和实践进行监督。尽管可以看到法国生殖管理所依据的道德制度发生了变化，但辅助生殖技术的实践仍受到监督机制的监控，其经济和医疗性质掩盖了其正常化功能。不符合这些规范的妇女和夫妇无法通过法国的 ART 系统组建家庭。在这篇文章中，我们展示了面对这种生殖排斥，法国妇女和夫妇如何选择跨境生殖保健，以试图规避监控，实现他们的生殖愿望。
期刊介绍：
Medical Anthropology provides a global forum for scholarly articles on the social patterns of ill-health and disease transmission, and experiences of and knowledge about health, illness and wellbeing. These include the nature, organization and movement of peoples, technologies and treatments, and how inequalities pattern access to these. Articles published in the journal showcase the theoretical sophistication, methodological soundness and ethnographic richness of contemporary medical anthropology. Through the publication of empirical articles and editorials, we encourage our authors and readers to engage critically with the key debates of our time. Medical Anthropology invites manuscripts on a wide range of topics, reflecting the diversity and the expanding interests and concerns of researchers in the field.
