At the center of the book are case studies of thirty pregnant women whose fetuses were labeled "abnormal" after an ultrasound examination. By following these women and their relatives through painful processes of reproductive decision making, Tine M. Gammeltoft offers intimate ethnographic insights into everyday life in contemporary Vietnam and a sophisticated theoretical exploration of how subjectivities are forged in the face of moral assessments and demands.Across the globe, ultrasonography and other technologies for prenatal screening offer prospective parents new information and present them with agonizing decisions never faced in the past. For anthropologists, this diagnostic capability raises important questions about individuality and collectivity, responsibility and choice. Arguing for more sustained anthropological attention to human quests for belonging, Haunting Images addresses existential questions of love and loss that concern us all. 606 $aAbortion$xMoral and ethical aspects$zVietnam 606 $aAbortion$xSocial aspects$zVietnam 610 $aabnormal. 610 $ababies. 610 $abelonging. 610 $abiology. 610 $abiomedical technology. 610 $acase studies. 610 $achildren. 610 $acontemporary vietnam. 610 $adiagnostic capability. 610 $aethnographic fieldwork. 610 $afetus. 610 $agender studies. 610 $aglobal medicine. 610 $ahanoi. 610 $akinship. 610 $alove and loss. 610 $amedical innovations. 610 $amoral assessments. 610 $amorality. 610 $amotherhood. 610 $aparenthood. 610 $apolitical. 610 $apregnancy. 610 $apregnant women. 610 $aprenatal screening. 610 $aprospective parents. 610 $aquestions of belonging. 610 $areproductive decision making. 610 $atechnology. 610 $aultrasonography. 610 $aultrasound examination. 610 $avietnam. 610 $avietnamese mothers. 610 $avietnamese women. 615 0$aAbortion$xMoral and ethical aspects 615 0$aAbortion$xSocial aspects 676 $a179.7/609597 700 $aGammeltoft$b Tine M$01532972 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910791083203321 996 $aHaunting images$93779581 997 $aUNINA
