- Abstract
The article analyses the practice of assisted reproductive technologies in the globalizing society. Today the "reproductive tourism", caused by high mobility of world population, is developing rapidly. Patients travel all over the world to get access to the needed medical service – fertility treatment. The article considers "reproductive tourism" to India and its consequences for low-class women. The study also shows that the influence of the reproductive technologies on the Indian society resembles scenarios of cyberpunk science fiction where people are exploited by high-tech technologies.
