内容説明

The growing availability of new reproductive technologies have raised moral and political questions, not only for pregnant women, but for anyone who wishes the State to make wise and humane decisions in this extremely sensitive area. This book brings together a group of feminist scholars to explore the ethics and politics of questions such as surrogacy, genetic intervention, in-vitro fertilization, and other issues affecting the unborn child. It discusses the wide range of technologies and their moral implications, and is intended for anyone involved in decisions on the unborn child, from parents to medical practitioners.
