New Reproductive Technologies and Health Care in Neo-liberal India: Essays

Abstract

The present faith of the middle class in technology to deliver the planned goals of economic, social and environmental justice has provided a shield of absolutism to the ever growing domination of technologies. This is particularly so in the field of health where the so-called beneficiaries are the least knowledgeable as well as physically and emotionally vulnerable and rarely in a position to make the final choice – either for themselves or for their dependents – once the outcomes of non-use are placed before them by professional practitioners.
