This project analyzes fetoscopy as a network composed of objects and subjects that form an environment in which tools and ideas become meaningful parts of a reproductive technology. The objective is to identify how fetoscopy may be understood as the outcome of multiple social interactions by asking how research groups, patients, and their larger social and technical networks interact to develop the new reproductive technology (NRT) fetoscopy. Today, fetoscopy is being developed as two separate, yet similar, techniques: diagnostic embryofetoscopy and operative fetoscopy. While both procedures use a scope to make in utero diagnoses, they are used during different periods of gestation and have varied therapeutic goals including fetal gene therapy and surgery. To identify how persons create these new developments and how they may explicitly and implicitly create meaning from their experiences with the tools, this research utilizes an ethnographic study including participant observation, interviews, citation indexes and textual analyses of two hospitals developing fetoscopy

该项目分析了胎儿镜检查作为一个网络组成的对象和主体，形成了一个环境中，工具和想法成为生殖技术的有意义的部分。 我们的目标是通过询问研究小组，患者及其更大的社会和技术网络如何相互作用，以开发新的生殖技术（NRT）胎儿镜检查，以确定胎儿镜检查如何被理解为多种社会互动的结果。 今天，胎儿镜检查正在发展为两种独立但相似的技术：诊断性胚胎镜检查和手术性胎儿镜检查。 虽然这两种程序都使用范围来进行子宫内诊断，但它们在妊娠的不同时期使用，并且具有不同的治疗目标，包括胎儿基因治疗和手术。 为了确定人们如何创造这些新的发展，以及他们如何从他们使用工具的经验中显式和隐式地创造意义，本研究利用了一项民族志研究，包括参与者观察，访谈，引文索引和文本分析，两家医院正在发展胎儿镜检查
