About this Item
Description:
174 pages including index. The new reproductive technologies raise serious ethical and social-policy questions, and it is these questions that the essays in this volume seek to address. Combining a fundamental commitment to individual reproductive autonomy with a feminist recognition of the dangers posed for women and children allike by the unrestricted proliferation of new technologies, Overall offers a balanced philosophical perspective on a broad range of issues that are of increasing concern to all members of our society. Moderate quantity of high-lighting and pencil markings. Very light wear. Remains a nice copy in glossy illustrated covers. Seller Inventory # 86601587
Synopsis:
Who owns frozen human embryos? Are "surrogate motherhood" arrangements dangerous for women? Should access to in vitro fertilization be limited or increased? With the development of complex reproductive technologies and the ensuing controversies in reproductive ethics, there is an urgent need for more careful examination of moral principles, current practices, and social policies pertaining to reproduction. The issues examined in this collection of nine papers focusing of the Canadian experience include abortion, the cryopreservation of embryos, the selective termination of fetuses within multiple pregnancies, social policy for gestational "surrogacy," and the regulation of in vitro fertilization. Adopting a feminist perspective, the book places reproductive autonomy at the center of debates about the control of reproduction.
Review:
"...the essays provide provocative food for thought about the moral complexities of surrogate arrangements."--Medical Humanities Review
