Make Me Exactly. How Reproductive Technologies Are Changing the World
-
AuthorИнна Денисова
The number of children born through in vitro fertilization (IVF) has doubled in Russia over the past eight years: about 160,000 procedures are performed annually in the country. Reproductive technologies shift the age limits for childbirth, and surrogacy completely transforms the concept of family. The main thing is to have money and desire. But is everything really so simple and rosy? Journalist and documentary filmmaker Inna Denisova writes about how a fantasy world, derived from movies and TV series, mixes with real life—her own and those of dozens of other women and men. More importantly, "Make Me Exactly" shows how these stories change our ideas about gender, psychology, technology, law, ethics, and the meaning of life.
