Drawing on studies with 40 informants in Ghana and 74 informants in South Africa, we explore spiritual interventions among staff and patients that accompany their use of assisted reproduction. These practices and expressions of faith reinforce staff and patients as moral subjects who have done everything possible to assist in the vagaries of assisted reproduction-another form of care to enable, complement, and enhance high-tech intervention. We consider the creation of sacred spaces in the clinics, the rituals that form part of IVF practice, and the dilemmas of translation when assisted reproductive technologies (ARTs) travel to different cultural and religious contexts.
基于对加纳40名受访者和南非74名受访者的研究，我们探讨了员工和患者在使用辅助生殖技术过程中的精神干预措施。这些信仰实践和表达强化了员工和患者作为道德主体的地位，他们已竭尽全力应对辅助生殖的变幻莫测——这是另一种形式的关怀，旨在促成、补充和加强高科技干预。我们考虑了诊所中神圣空间的营造、体外受精实践中包含的仪式，以及辅助生殖技术（ARTs）传播到不同文化和宗教背景时的翻译困境。
