In the present era in the US and other developed nations the dramatic growth in the use of ARTS should be viewed in light of a much larger and more steadily increasing use of technologies of neonatal salvage as well as less heroic medical interventions that have enabled a much wider range of medically challenged infants to survive. Thus the disruption of reproduction as other chapters in this collection also make clear has much broader temporal and sociocultural consequences than the language of reproduction might suggest. Our goal in this chapter is to look at the social processes by which this expansion occurs. We do so through a general discussion of the increasing visibility and acceptance of disability in both public media and the more intimate domain of kinship. We see this work as an expansion of our prior development of the concept of stratified reproduction a term we use to describe the power relations by which some categories of people are empowered to nurture and reproduce while others are disempowered Ginsburg and Rapp 1995 cf.

In an era when American families are no longer encouraged to institutionalize their non-normative babies or other family members at later life stages it is no longer simply reproduction birth and early infancy that are disrupted. As babies with disabilities grow many assumptions about kinship relations domestic cycles and community
