Description and Table of Contents

Description

This is a scathing feminist analysis that contributes ground-breaking insights to the raging debate over reproductive technology. In the book, renowned scholar and feminist activist, Janice Raymond, delivers a passionate expose that uncovers the alarming ethical, legal and political implications of high-tech biomedical reproductive technologies. She argues that these technologies are neither liberatory nor an issue of reproductive 'choice'. Rather, they violate the integrity of women's bodies, perpetuate prostitution and an international trafficking in women and children, and are a threat to women's basic human rights.
