Dear colleagues,

and economics

Reproductive bio-economies, i.e. economies that are built around
reproductive tissues, cells and processes, are largely consolidated
economies, which have seen considerable growth in terms of treatment
cycles, technologies, revenues, actors, and countries. Since the first
IVF birth, reproductive bio-economies have expanded to include a range
of stakeholders including: clinics, legal firms, donors and surrogates,
intermediaries and agencies, gamete and embryo banks, investment funds,
research institutions and public health care systems, in a global
network worth billions of Euros. Amidst this expansion, questions about
the policy and governance of reproductive bio-economies become a matter
of considerable interest.
A consideration of regulatory systems that govern reproductive
technologies raises questions about how bio-economies emerge within
different national and supranational contexts, how and if they challenge
existing governance arrangements and how existing or new policy
frameworks contribute to their re/shaping. An exploration of the
regulation of reproductive bio-economies allows for improved
understanding of how “moral regimes directed towards reproductive
behaviours and practices are fully entangled with political economic
processes” (Morgan & Roberts 2012), and allows consideration to be given
to the distribution of actors and affects within different moral
frameworks and regulatory formations.
This panel therefore welcomes contributions on:
-Policy actors, configurations and policy change in the context of
reproductive bio-economies
-Interactions of public policy with private medicine
-Local/global medical regulation
-Questions of quality and safety, conflicts of interest and informed consent
-The regulation of different valuation practices and commercial actors
-Questions of under or over regulation
