Taylor analyzes the full sociocultural context of ultrasound technology and imagery. Drawing upon ethnographic research both within and beyond the medical setting, Taylor shows how ultrasound has entered into public consumer culture in the United States. The book documents and critically analyzes societal uses for ultrasound such as nondiagnostic "keepsake" ultrasound businesses that foster a new consumer market for these blurry, monochromatic images of eagerly awaited babies, and anti-abortion clinics that use ultrasound in an attempt to make women bond with the fetuses they carry, inciting a pro-life state of mind. This book offers much-needed critical awareness of the less easily recognized ways in which ultrasound technology is profoundly social and political in the United States today. 410 0$aStudies in medical anthropology. 606 $aFetus$xUltrasonic imaging$xSocial aspects 606 $aFetus$xUltrasonic imaging$xPsychological aspects 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aFetus$xUltrasonic imaging$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aFetus$xUltrasonic imaging$xPsychological aspects. 676 $a618.3/207543 700 $aTaylor$b Janelle S.$f1965-$01039715 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910454232503321 996 $aThe public life of the fetal sonogram$92462069 997 $aUNINA LEADER 00950nlm 2200301 a 450 001 996472263503316 005 20220530084908.0 010 $a0-520-04574-2 100 $a19880718d1984---- ub 0 101 0 $aeng 102 $aUS 135 $adrcnu 200 1 $aFrom hunters to farmers$ethe causes and consequences of food production in Africa$fedited by J.
