在逊尼派穆斯林世界,宗教命令禁止将收养和配子捐赠作为不孕症的解决方案,包括在体外受精失败后。然而,这两种选择现在都可以在两个什叶派穆斯林人口众多的中东国家(伊朗和黎巴嫩)使用。在多教派的黎巴嫩的实地调查的基础上,1检查生病这篇文章的态度,对收养和配子捐赠无子女的穆斯林男子谁是进行试管婴儿与他们的妻子。无论宗教派别如何,黎巴嫩的大多数穆斯林男子继续抵制收养和配子捐赠,认为这样的孩子“不会是我的儿子。“然而,尽管困难重重,一些穆斯林男子正在考虑和采取这些替代家庭形成的方式,以维护他们的爱情婚姻,满足他们的父亲愿望,并挑战宗教规定,他们认为这些规定与科学和技术的新发展不同步。因此,在这篇文章中,第一部分研究了宗教,技术,婚姻和父母身份的复杂交叉点,特别是在2001年9月11日之后,世界上的一个地区,人们对它既不了解,又有负面的刻板印象。
In the Sunni Muslim world, religious mandates prohibit both adoption and gamete donation as solutions to infertility, including in the aftermath of in vitro fertilization] (IVF) failures. However, both of these options are now available in two Middle Eastern countries with significant Shi'ite Muslim populations (Iran and Lebanon). On the basis of fieldwork in rnultisectarian Lebanon, 1 examine ill this article attitudes toward both adoption and gamete donation among childless Muslim men who are undertaking IVF with their wives. No matter the religious sect, Most Muslim men in Lebanon continue to resist both adoption and gamete donation, arguing that such a child "won't be my son. " However, against all odds, some Muslim men are considering and undertaking these alternatives to family formation as ways to preserve their loving marriages, satisfy their fatherhood desires, and challenge religious dictates, which they view as out of step with new developments in science and technology. Thus, in this article 1 examine the complicated intersections of religion, technology, marriage, and parenthood in a part of the world that is both poorly understood and negatively stereotyped, particularly in the aftermath of September 11, 2001.
