Reviews

While policy makers are an important and appropriate audience for this book, anyone considering the possibility of IVF should also read the book, as should social scientists, ethicists, and others with an interest in medical technology and the ways in which it is developed and proliferates. oJudith N. Lasker, Lehigh University
