Description
"There is perhaps no right more private or precious than the right to beget a child. Yet recent choices by people exercising that right have aroused public controversy. Traditional family planning now routinely includes such options as artificial insemination and in vitro fertilization, and the use of surrogates, donor gametes, fetal surgery, and genetic preselection are becoming increasingly common. New reproductive alternatives are causing Americans to ask: Who is a parent? How far should we got to conceive a baby? And what makes a family? Perhaps the most controversial question of all is: Who should decide the difference between what is right and what is wrong now that so much is possible?" "Private Choices, Public Consequences examines the legal, ethical, and moral dilemmas of new reproductive alternatives, not only from the perspective of the experts but also from the real-life experiences of the people who have struggled with complex decisions.". "Private Choices, Public Consequences will open your eyes to both the amazing reproductive choices some people are making today and the far-reaching public consequences of their decisions."--BOOK JACKET.
