Cyborg Babies: From Techno-Sex to Techno-Tots Paperback - 1998

by Robbie Davis-Floyd (Editor); Joseph Dumit (Editor)

An exploration of the increasingly pervasive role of technology in how children are brought into and raised in our society. From the uses of sperm banks, IVF, surrogacy, DES, ultrasound, amniocentesis, and epidurals to juvenile computer hackers, CYBORG BABIES discusses how contemporary children are immersed in technoculture.


First line

Donor insemination (DI), the attempt to impregnate a woman with semen from a donor, can be relatively simple procedure: [Y]ou suck the semen into a needleless hypodermic syringe (some women use an eye dropper or a turkey baster), gently insert the syringe into your vagina while lying flat on your back with your rear up on a pillow, and empty the syringe into your vagina to deposit the semen as close to your cervix as possible.

New York: Routledge, 1998. Book. Near Fine. Soft cover. 1st Edition. 9h x 5 1/2w. A real nice clean unmarked 368 page first edition softcover with 1 low in number line. All agree, though, that technology has caused or at least paved the way for serious social changes in the way children are conceived, gestated, born, and raised. The writers look not only at how technology has changed the processes but how it has shaped our views of childbirth and childcare. Technologies addressed range from artificial insemination to the use of ultrasound and even teddy bears that comfort a baby with the sounds of the womb. The range of philosophies explored is equally wide..
