Beyond IVF, the ability to extract, fertilize, and store reproductive cells outside of the human body has created new opportunities for family building, but also prompted new conflicts about rights to and control over reproductive cells. In collaborative forms of reproduction that build on IVF technologies, such as egg and embryo donation and gestational surrogacy, multiple women may variously contribute to conception, gestation\/birth, and the legal and social responsibilities for rearing a child, creating intentionally fragmented maternities. \u003ci\u003eUndoing Motherhood\u003c\/i\u003e examines the implications of such fragmented maternities in the post-IVF reproductive era for generating maternity uncertainty—an increasing cultural ambiguity about what does and should constitute maternity. \u003ci\u003eUndoing Motherhood\u003c\/i\u003e explores this uncertainty in the social worlds of reproductive medicine and law.\u003cbr\u003e   \u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e1.
