Modern Reproductive Medicine between Market and Morality in the Federal Republic of Germany (1970-1990)

该项目分析了自1970年左右以来生殖医学的出现，既是在技术上可想象和可行的范围扩大的背景下，也是在医学日益市场化的背景下。具体地说，该项目考察了1970年至1990年联邦共和国生殖医学市场的早期阶段，并展示了计划生育如何在这一时期通过生殖医学创新成为一个新的研究和商业领域。在第一步中，该项目分析了西德新复制市场的具体结构，包括劳动力和专业知识、网络和产品，以及销售和营销策略。其次，该项目将确定主要的政治和专业行为者，并将他们纳入当代公共辩论的背景，追踪他们对这一市场的变化和起源的影响。还有必要说明家庭和性别的概念在这方面发生了怎样的变化。第三，该项目将分析这些关于生殖医学创新的言论在多大程度上影响了医生及其客户和客户的认知和自我认知。它们在多大程度上对生殖医学市场的供需结构和社会习俗产生了影响？

This project analyses about the emergence of reproductive medicine since about 1970 both in the context of an expansion of what was technologically imaginable and feasible and of a growing marketization of medicine. Specifically, the project examines the early stages of the market for reproductive medicine in the Federal Republic between 1970 and 1990, and shows how family planning became a new research and business field during this period through innovations in reproductive medicine. In a first step, the project analyses the specific structure of a new reproduction market in West Germany, with regard to labor and expertise, networks and products, as well as sales and marketing strategies. Secondly, the project will identify central political and professional actors and contextualize them within contemporary public debates, tracing their influence on the change and genesis of this market. It is also necessary to show how conceptions of family and gender have changed in this context. Third, the project will analyze the extent to which such discourses about innovations in reproductive medicine influenced both the perceptions and self-perception of medical practitioners and of their clients and customers. To what degree did they exert an influence on the structure of supply and demand and on social practices in the market for reproductive medicine?
