Project description

The number of people seeking to reproduce using Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART) is rising both globally and in Europe and yet, the regulation of access to particular ART procedures in different European states differs greatly and thus gives rise to cross border fertility travel. Achieving pregnancy via ARTs is not enough, further challenges arise in obtaining legal parenthood and citizenship status. The project entitled ‘Towards an Inclusive Reproduction and Parenthood despite COVID-19’ builds on previous EU funded research, Marie Skłodowska-Curie Action (MSCA) Fellowship ‘QTReproART’. Both studies depart from the premise that an adverse consequence of reproductive technologies is that access to ART and obtaining legal parenthood and citizenship is unevenly distributed among different parts of the population. Especially now during the Covid-19 challenges and obstacles in reproduction and parenthood for queer and trans people are intensified.
