Women As Wombs: Reproductive Technologies and the Battle over Women's Freedom

An expose that uncovers the alarming ethical, legal and political implications of high-tech biomedical reproductive technologies. The author argues that these technologies are neither liberatory nor an issue of reproductive choice. Rather, they violate the integrity of women's bodies, perpetuate prostitution and an international trafficking in women and children, and are a threat to women's basic human rights. The author lectures internationally on reproductive and genetic technologies, feminist theory and bioethics. Her books include A Passion for Friends, The Transsexual Empire, and she is co-author of RU 486: Misconceptions, Myths and Morals.
