Symposium: Families through assisted reproductive technology - causes, experiences, and consequences in an international context

Reproductive Biomedicine & Society Online release a new open-access Special Collection edited by Anne-Kristin Kuhnt and Jasmin Passet-Wittig on the creation of families through the use of assisted reproductive technology. This is a particularly important topic for demographers, as postponement of birth continues to ages where fertility declines and more and more children are born with the help of ART.

The Special Collection had seven contributions from authors of several European and Non-European countries such as Eva Beaujouan (Austria), Ivett Szalma (Hungary), Catarina Delaunay (Portugal), Katja Köppen (Germany), and Julia McQuillan (US).

  1. At risk of reproductive disadvantage? Exploring fertility awareness among migrant women in Germany by Nadja Milewski and Sonja Haug

  2. Families formed through assisted reproductive technology: Causes, experiences, and consequences in an international context by Anne-Kristin Kuhnt and Jasmin Passet-Wittig

  3. Late fertility intentions increase over time in Austria, but chances to have a child at later ages remain low by Eva Beaujouan

  4. In-vitro metaphors: ART beneficiaries’ meaning-making about human embryos in the context of IVF in Portugal by Catarina Delaunay, Mário J.D.S. Santos and Luís Gouveia

  5. Who can take advantage of medically assisted reproduction in Germany? by Katja Köppen, Heike Trappe and Christian Schmitt

  6. Knowledge and attitudes about assisted reproductive technology: Findings from a Hungarian online survey by Ivett Szalma and Tamás Bitó

  7. Metabolic risk factors and fertility disorders: A narrative review of the female perspective by Ronny Westerman and Anne-Kristin Kuhnt
