To understand bioprecarity means thinking through the ways in which the body, life, the production, maintenance and application of categories, and intimate labour are entangled.

Achieving parenthood with the help of assisted reproductive technologies (ART) remains a fraught ... more Achieving parenthood with the help of assisted reproductive technologies (ART) remains a fraught business, particularly for queer and trans people who want to use sperm donation, egg donation, procedures involving surrogates, or other ARTs. This is because the regulation of fertility treatment and associated issues such as the documentation of parenthood in birth certificates and passports varies across countries, including across European countries, in terms of who is considered an appropriate prospective parent, what kind of treatment they should be allowed, and what documented parent status they are entitled to. Elaborating Engeli and Rothmayr Allison's (2017) continuum model of classifying countries according to their relatively permissive or restrictive ART regulations, we argue that other criteria of assessment than their's need to be used if the focus is on queer and trans people. We compare Estonia, Austria and the UK in terms of LGBTIQ people's opportunities of access to ART and documentation of parenthood. Jasanoff's (2005a, 2005b) concept of 'ontological surgery' regarding the regulation of biotechnology in different states suggests ways of thinking about differences in ART access and parenthood status both within and across countries for LGBTQI people seeking to form families and to create new kinds of kinship.

Introduction to the Special Issue on Queer and Trans Reproduction in Europe
International Journal of Women's Studies, 2018
This article is about the legal challenges and difficulties of queer and trans reproduction with ... more This article is about the legal challenges and difficulties of queer and trans reproduction with ART in three purposely selected European states: Sweden, Poland and Spain, representing the north, east and west of Europe. Isabell Engeli and Christine Rothmayr Allison's continuum model of classifying countries according to their permissive, intermediate or restrictive regulations for ART access serves as an example how a national comparative analysis on ART policies is established. However, this framework needs to be adjusted to address the regulations pertaining to queer and trans people's reproductive, parenthood, and partnership opportunities. Thus, the queer and trans model I propose includes somewhat different concerns and criteria than Engeli and Rothmayr Allison's such as which terminologies for the parents are available on the birth certificate. The overall aim is to provide insights into the different regulations regarding ART in the three countries here discussed, and to suggest solutions for a more inclusive European legal framework for ART access.

Murphy and Cristina Richie about queer bioethics and queer reproduction in this journal, significant points of the emergent and extremely important discussions on LGBT and queer bioethics are raised. Richie specifies correctly that queer bioethics can either complement or contradict LGBT bioethics and the queer standpoint against heteroconformity and heterofuturity is decisive here. As the field of queer bioethics is such a recent and essential part of consideration for bioethics and as it is still evolving , the objective of this intervention is to provide both an overview of important milestones of queer bioethics and to highlight that queer bioethics is not mono-logic and monolithic. In order to exemplify queer bioethic’s ‘many-headed monsters’, queer reproduction is revisited and complemented by a European viewpoint. It is central to my argument and here I disagree with Richie that to be against heterofuturity does not necessarily mean to be against queer reproduction. However, I also argue that there are other reasons why queer reproduction should not be pursued at all costs. Finally, I discuss the most recent debates on race, class and citizenship, e.g. queer necropolitics. These points still need to be addressed in queer bioethical agendas.

Overall, this project consists of two main parts, first the applied dis/ability queerfeminist ethics (practical philosophy), which draws on examples of concerns of transgender, intersex and people with dis/abilities about ARGTs. The second part deals with a dis/ability queer-feminist meta-ethics (theoretical philosophy), which draws on the outcome of the first part and gives descriptions and explanations of crucial elements and notions of a dis/ability queer-feminist meta-ethics.

1) Who is allowed to reproduce and how?
2) What challenges do queer and transgender people meet in accessing and using ART in different national contexts and how do they negotiate these?
3) How can the access to ART be improved for queer and transgender people?
The principal new findings are policy recommendations for an inclusive common European framework, which contain 10 key recommendations and 12 further recommendations.
