[an] interesting book with some very arresting insights and well worth reading, whether you are a graduate student, academic or just interested in the exciting new field of emerging reproductive technologies. * Oliver Feeney, Res Publica: A Journal of Moral, Legal and Social Philosophy * All in all, this is a tremendously rich and well-argued book. It will be of great interest to philosophers working on the ethics of reproduction and in related areas, as well as an invaluable tool for policymakers on selective reproduction. * Ben Bramble, Mind *
