Book Description

November 7, 2007 Studies in Social Medicine
Combining attention to lived experience with the critical tools of ethics, Karey Harwood explores why many women who use high-tech assisted reproduction methods tend to use them repeatedly, even when the results are unsuccessful. With a compassionate look at the individual decision making behind the desire to become pregnant and the use of assisted reproductive technologies (ART), Harwood extends the public conversation beyond debates about individual choice by considering the experiences of families and by addressing the broader ethical problems presented by these technologies.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Raises important ethical issues. . . . An exceptional contribution to the growing body of work on assisted reproductive technology. . . . Would make a fine addition to a unit on women and reproduction in an upper-division course. . . . Will provide students with a lively exchange of ideas and concepts."
-Feminist Formations
