Abstract: Assisted reproductive technologies (ARTs) are now positioned as a means to achieve the “democratization†of childbirth, including same-sex and single-parent families. In a global perspective, however, the very same technologies have enforced new inequalities the way they have become available on a global, commercial market. In some countries, predominantly secular western democracies, it has been politically possible to raise demands for equal access to ARTs, regardless of gender or sexual identities, even though exclusionary policies and practices of assisted reproduction are still very much on the agenda. Still, it is an inevitable paradox of the contemporary, neoliberal, and globalized world that ARTs have created new possibilities for some people as recipients of gametes, cures, and gestational labor, whereas others, in particular women in precarious situations, have become the providers.
