520 The practice of sex-selective abortion is on the rise
globally, stirring debates about gender inequality,
medical ethics and reproductive autonomy. This book is the
first ethnography to document practices of sex selection
in Viet Nam. It shows how and why abortions are used to
select the sex of children and how Vietnamese individuals
and health professionals are implicated in this illicit
and controversial practice. Telling the stories of women
who have undergone sex-selective abortions, it traces
their passage through sex determination and abortion
decision-making phases, and investigates their experiences
during and after their sex-selective abortions. It
describes the turmoil experienced by individuals who
undergo such abortions and explores their interactions
with the spectrum of social actors and health institutions
that facilitate practices of sex selection.|bAs the first
ethnographic study on sex-selective abortions in Viet Nam,
this book delves into socially sensitive terrain and sheds
light on personally fraught individual experiences of
reproductive agency. It documents societal responses to
sex-selective abortions in Viet Nam and identifies gaps in
the state's capacity to regulate reproductive desire in a
marketised economy. A resource for researchers, it
contributes to ongoing debates on sex selection and
provides a framework for developing relevant social
policies, interventions and support services.
