内容説明

This book describes the historical, psychological background to human infertility and the methods by which it can be diagnosed and treated. The main emphasis will be psychological and practical. Subject areas covered include treatment, new developments, what can go wrong, the success or failure of treatment, adoption and the possibility of life without children and the subject's ethical and legal implications. These are important areas to those concerned, whether they are parents, scientists, legislators, or the general public. About one in six couples have difficulty in having a child and the related issues of infertility, such as surrogacy, multiple births and homosexual parenting have attracted a great deal of media attention in recent years.
