Technologies of Procreation: Kinship in the Age of Assisted Conception

An anthropology research team drawn from four British universities explores how assisted conception techniques create the potential for a redefinition of relationships, because it is now possible to create life on behalf of another person. They draw data and ideas from ethnographic studies, household interviews, and debates in Parliament and among clinicians. Distributed by St. Martin's Press. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc.
