Review uncovers the challenges of consent in reproductive care, highlighting invisibility in the UK system.
The review discusses the edited volume Narratives of Consent and Reproductive Subjects: Tales of Invisibility by Samatha Halliday, Rebecca Brione, and Jacqueline Nicholls. The authors elaborate on the limits of consent in reproductive and maternity care in the United Kingdom’s or Wales’s healthcare system. Through legal and policy analyses, the book demonstrates how reproductive subjects are rendered invisible during pregnancy and childbirth, showing that even under a patient-centered healthcare model, reproduction requires exceptional considerations in consent.
