-
A scathing analysis of high-tech biomedical reproductive techniques. Women as Wombs provides groundbreaking insights into the debate over reproductive technology and its ethical, legal, and political implications. She asserts that far from being liberatory issues of ‘choice’, these techniques – including in vitro fertilization, surrogacy, and sex selection – are a threat to women’s basic human rights.
‘A strongly written, carefully reasoned critique of the reproductive liberalism that … lies behind current concepts of reproductive choice.’ —K. Kaufmann, San Francisco Chronicle Review
‘Challenging ideas, expressed clearly and forcefully, that go provocatively against the grain.’ —Kirkus Review
