PLEASE NOTE THIS SEMINAR IS AT TAVISTOCK PLACE
We are very pleased to announce the second London Medical Sociology Group seminar of 2015:
Wednesday 25th February 6-7 pm 'Does IVF Exacerbate Infertility?
Speaker: Professor Sarah Franklin, University of Cambridge
This presentation returns to the origins of UK IVF in Oldham, Lancashire to complicate the seemingly obvious relationship between IVF and infertility. It also explores how IVF may exacerbate the condition of unwanted childlessness it is intended to relieve. Turning to the present-day, I will argue that it is only by more fully appreciating the contradictory and paradoxical aspects of IVF's history that its future benefits can be maximised.
Discussant: Dr Carrie Friese, London School of Economics
After Dr Friese's response, we will open up the session for a general discussion and follow this with a trip to a nearby pub.
Everyone is welcome to attend. so please join us for what should be a very interesting evening.
