Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
"Each chapter is unique...what binds them together is the provocative way in which each confronts the matters of public versus private regulation of reproductive technologies. A resource for anyone who is grappling with any of the debates surrounding reproductive technology."--Choice
"It is very hard to produce a timely book about a subject that changes as quickly as technologically assisted reproduction. But John Harris and Soren Holm have managed to do exactly that. The fourteen essays in this small volume provide an extremely useful and highly readable overview of the key moral, legal, and social themes raised by the new ways of making babies."--British Medical Journal
