Summary:In Thailand, infertility remains a source of stigma for those couples that combine a range of religious, traditional and high-tech interventions in their quest for a child. This book explores this experience of infertility and the pursuit and use of assisted reproductive technologies by Thai couples.

These stories of women and men in private and public infertility clinics reveal how local social and moral sensitivities influence the practices and meanings of treatment
