项目摘要

0217299InhornThis project by an anthropologist from the University of Michigan studies how masculine identity in Arab culture is affected by male infertility. The project studies how new reproductive technologies are used (or not used) in the Middle East, where religiously observant Muslim men are prohibited from accepting donor insemination or legal adoption. The project will study the use of reproductive technologies, including intracytoplasmic sperm injection (a technique which allows severely infertile men to father their own biological children) in an urban and a semi-rural infertility clinic in Egypt, as well as among Middle East men in Detroit, a city with the largest such population in the US. The project will interview in Egypt 100 infertile men, as well as a control sample of 100 fertile men, as well as a smaller sample of infertile men's wives, and medical specialists to understand how moral as well as pragmatic decisions are made when fatherhood, marriage, and a sense of manhood itself may be at stake. Several hypotheses will be tested linking male infertility to culturally relevant factors such as smoking, consanguinity, lead exposure, and also to the sense of masculinity, marital relations, medical treatment-seeking, and morality. The "medical migration" of Middle Eastern men to the US for infertility treatment will be studied through a focus on two Arab-American medical centers. The impact of the Western context on religious morality of Middle Eastern men will be studied through in-depth interviews with men, their wives, and medical specialists. This research will advance our understanding of male identity and masculinity in a Middle Eastern cultural context, and should be of wide interest to those concerned with the nature of Middle Eastern culture and society.

密歇根大学的人类学家的0217299 Inhornthis项目研究阿拉伯文化中的男性身份如何受男性不育的影响。该项目研究中东如何使用（或未使用）新的生殖技术，禁止宗教观察的穆斯林男子接受捐助者的授精或法律收养。该项目将研究在埃及的城市和半乡村不育症诊所，以及在底特律的中东男性中，包括底特律的人群中，包括大量的不育诊所，包括在底特律的中东男人中，包括室内的精子注射（一种使人不育男人生育自己的亲生孩子）的使用（一种技术）。该项目将在埃及采访100名不育男性，以及100名肥沃男人的控制样本，以及较小的不育男人的妻子样本，以及医学专家，以了解父亲，婚姻和男子气概本身时的道德和务实决定可能会受到威胁。将测试几种假设，将男性不育症与文化相关因素联系起来，例如吸烟，血缘关系，铅暴露，以及男性气质，婚姻关系，寻求治疗和道德的感觉。中东男性向美国进行不育治疗的“医疗移民”将通过两个阿拉伯裔美国医疗中心进行研究。西方环境对中东男人宗教道德的影响将通过对男人，妻子和医学专家的深入访谈进行研究。这项研究将在中东文化背景下提高我们对男性身份和男性气质的理解，并应对与中东文化和社会本质有关的人们广泛兴趣。
