Thesis

Kinship practices among gay men who have become parents through commercial surrogacy

This project explores how the use of commercial surrogacy by gay men is changing understandings of parenting and family, as well as providing insights into the legal, biomedical and social aspects of assisted reproductive technologies. Of particular interest are: desire and decision-making about parenthood; understandings of family and kinship; the importance of biogenetic connectedness; and relationships between parents, children, surrogates and egg donors.
