Abstract：
Social egg freezing (SEF) is a new reproductive technology that is increasingly used within ultra-Orthodox Jewish communities, stirring tensions between tradition and modernity. Based on in-depth semi-structured interviews, this study examined how ultra-Orthodox singles who employ SEF engage in social negotiations over gender- and body-related norms. Findings show that participants successfully assimilated SEF by establishing facts on the ground and discreetly spreading information while actively avoiding tensions that may threaten religious tradition. SEF did not push participants into modern individualism or dissolve their strong connection to the community. However they did modify social boundaries and articulated social criticism.
摘要：
社会卵子冷冻（SEF）是一种新的生殖技术，在超正统犹太社区中越来越多地使用，传统与现代之间的紧张关系。基于深入的半结构化访谈，这项研究调查了雇用SEF的超正统单身人士如何参与有关性别和身体相关规范的社会谈判。调查结果表明，参与者通过在实地建立事实并谨慎传播信息，同时积极避免可能威胁宗教传统的紧张局势，成功地吸收了SEF。SEF没有将参与者推向现代个人主义，也没有解散他们与社区的牢固联系。然而，他们确实修改了社会界限，明确了社会批评。
