Sarah Conly's book tackles an urgent, under-discussed topic: Is having children an unlimited, personal right? Or is this view no longer tenable in an era of vast increases in human population? Professor Conly rejects unlimited procreation rights and defends a one child per family limit as a moral imperative and perhaps as a legal requirement. This very fine book is clearly written, thorough in its treatment of the issues, and very fair to the opposing views. Stephen Nathanson, Emeritus Professor of Philosophy, Northeastern University

Stephen Nathanson, Emeritus Professor of Philosophy, Northeastern University ...this is a well-crafted book on a very important topic... It is probably laypersons and undergraduate students who will benefit the most from reading this book. Peter Murphy, Metapsychology
