Synopsis
People struggling with decisions about assisted fertility finally have a road map in Arthur Wisot and David Meldrum's informational and compassionate book, Conceptions and A Guide Through the Maze of In Vitro Fertilization and other Assisted Reproduction Techniques . Wisot and Meldrum give readers the right questions to ask and the means to interpret the answers. The compassionate tone may have been gained through personal experience (coauthor Wisot and his wife Claudia have quadruplets, achieved through ovulation-inducing drug therapy in the early '70s) as well as the two doctors' years of successfully helping infertile couples have babies. Conceptions and Misconceptions includes a detailed review of the reproductive cycle of both female and male, discussion of the causes of infertility, and an explanation of reproductive testing, treatments, and techniques. It also discusses the high risks associated with both in vitro pregnancy and multiple births, and addresses the future of assisted reproduction. This book is not light reading, yet it's exactly what the doctor ordered for those with questions about assisted reproduction. Rarely is hard-core science successfully explained in a clear, friendly, informational tone. It's been done in Conceptions and Misconceptions .
