In/Visible - A Photographic Journey Into the Lives of Egg Donors in Spain.

The result of a collaboration between an anthropologist and a photographer, in this photo essay we aim to visualize the medical process of egg donation and the quotidian lives of egg donors in Spain. By extending their biographies beyond the moment of extraction, we shed light on the intertwined messiness of medical procedures and everyday life and the precarious circumstances in which egg donation takes place in Spain today. Our aim is to highlight the participants who, although they matter most in the egg donation economy, are concealed: the egg donors.

Quality of life and associated factors in Swiss trans people: a cross-sectional study.

Background: Experiences of stressful life events during transition may have a negative impact on quality of life (QoL) in trans persons. Little attention has been paid to this population in Switzerland, resulting in sparse data on their QoL and associated social factors.

Methods: 30 participants were recruited during their medical transition treatment and surveyed on their experiences within this time period (13 months after the first medical intervention on average).

Policy landscapes on human genome editing: a perspective from Latin America.

Policy landscapes are instruments that identify national regulations on human genome editing (HGE). After examining their ethical and political assumptions, we highlight their limitations and effects for Latin America. We suggest creating other landscapes, such as focusing on processes and drawing attention to potential 'circuits of use' within and across borders.

Diagnostic response to a cross-border challenge for the Swiss caprine arthritis encephalitis virus eradication program.

Animal trading between countries with different small ruminant lentivirus infectious status is a potential danger for the reintroduction of eradicated genotypes. This was the case in 2017 with the importation of a large flock of seropositive goats into Switzerland. The handling of this case permitted us to test the preventive measures in place.
