Cross-border reproductive travel involves the movement of patients to undertake assisted reproductive treatment through technologies, such as in vitro fertilization and associated procedures otherwise denied to them due to cost, access, or regulatory restrictions. Based on fieldwork in Thailand, the United States, and the Czech Republic, we explore the commodification of reproductive bodies within this trade and the reduction of the nurturing affective labor of reproduction to exchange value. Second, we examine the intensification and globalization of the stratification of reproduction. These inequalities are illustrated though discussion of the trade in poor women's bodies for surrogacy and ova donation. Even reproductive body parts, ova, sperm, and embryos are stratified-marketed according to place of origin, the characteristics of their donors, and gender.
跨境生殖旅行涉及到患者通过技术（如体外受精和相关程序）前往他国接受辅助生殖治疗，而这些技术在本国由于成本、可及性或监管限制而无法获得。基于在泰国、美国和捷克共和国的实地调查，我们探讨了这种贸易中生殖体的商品化以及生殖情感劳动向交换价值的减少。其次，我们考察了生殖分层的加剧和全球化。这种不平等通过讨论代孕和卵子捐赠中贫困妇女身体的贸易来体现。即使是生殖体的部分，如卵子、精子和胚胎，也根据来源地、供体的特征和性别进行分层和营销。
