ABSTRACT
The chapter dwells into racialised consumption in assisted reproduction. The chapter analyses two empirical cases, namely egg donation among Asian Americans and the global online sperm/egg bank Cryos International, in order to illustrate entanglements of ideas about race, reproduction and market value. The authors argue that reproductive medicine structures a commercial market in racialised gametes, illustrating the importance of understanding how biogenetic and social ideas about race are (co-)constructed in the context of assisted reproduction, gamete donation, purchase of gametes and neoliberalism.
