From School Library Journal
Grade 8 Up. Although many thousands of babies have resulted from advances in medicine, books for children and young adults on this aspect of human reproduction have been long in coming. Here the topic is covered in detail with writing that is easy to understand. Scientific fact is made relevant by including reports about real people and widely known news events that have heralded progress in infertility treatments. The author provides a historical perspective, a technical description of human sexuality and available treatments, a discussion of ethics, and a look at the "industry" that has sprung up around the practice of this type of medicine. The book is useful for understanding the plight of individuals facing infertility, the treatment choices available, the issues surrounding egg and sperm donation, and what people participating in these processes can expect. Excellent research and documentation make this a solid choice for reports or for understanding infertility from a variety of perspectives.
