New special issue: Transnational Reproductive Travel in International Journal of Feminist Approaches to Bioethics

This special issue of IJFAB makes a unique contribution, from an explicitly feminist perspective, to the ethical debates surrounding transnational reproductive travel. Specifically, it highlights some of the challenges with the cross-border movement of both reproductive material and people. This includes travel by reproductive laborers (i.e., women who provide eggs for third-party reproduction  and women who provide gestational services), and intended parents.
