[tab] [content title="Summary"] *Substantial Relations* explores the historical and contemporary development of global reproductive medicine in India, with a particular focus on In Vitro Fertilization (IVF). Since the 1970s, India has played a significant, though evolving, role in shaping the field of reproductive medicine. Initially serving as a provider of raw materials, India has increasingly positioned itself as a producer of medical knowledge and technology. Today, it is home to a vibrant medical market that draws patients from around the world. The book traces the country's journey by following the transnational movement of biological materials, medical knowledge, supplies, and financial investments—vital elements that have shaped the IVF field. Drawing on extensive ethnographic research conducted in homes, hospitals, and laboratories in Delhi, *Substantial Relations* provides in-depth insights into the experiences of IVF users as they navigate their desires for children, their concerns about forming unwanted connections, and the daily interactions between clinicians and laboratory staff with reproductive substances. This rich and novel analysis of the complex "substantial relations" in India's growing IVF sector contributes to a broader understanding of reproductive medicine as a constantly evolving global phenomenon, placing India at the center of this ongoing process, rather than on its periphery. Thanks to generous funding from the Fonds National Suisse de la Recherche Scientifique/Swiss National Science Foundation, the ebook editions of this book are available as Open Access volumes through Cornell Open (cornellopen.org) and other repositories.
