 tions\n\nAbout the speakers:\n\nSoraya Tremayne is a social anthropologist

 International Affairs and Chair of the Council on Middle East Studies at Y
 ale University. A medical anthropologist specializing in Middle Eastern ge
 nder\, religion\, and reproductive health issues\, she has conducted resea
 rch on the social impact of infertility and assisted reproductive technolo
 gies in Egypt\, Lebanon\, the UAE & Arab America over the past 30 years.\n
 \nAbout the topic: \n\nThe world’s first “test-tube baby” was born i
 n England in 1978\, the first of the Muslim world in Egypt in 1987. IVF an
 d other forms of assisted reproductive technology (ART) rapidly globalized
  with the Muslim world\, overall\, embracing them with considerable enthus
 iasm while attempting to regulate them according to Islamic bioethical and
  legal principles. This presentation will focus on the overall permission 
 of IVF as a technology to overcome marital infertility among Muslim couple
 s\, while also describing the considerable variation between Sunni and Shi
 a Muslim religious authorities in their fatwas on ARTs. In particular\, th
 e authoritative prohibition of third-party reproductive assistance in Sunn
 i Muslim countries will be contrasted with the permission of third-party d
 onor technologies in Shia-dominant Iran. Issues of religion\, law\, and bi
 oethics will be highlighted.\n\nThe virtual lecture will be held as a vide
