As an active participant in this community, Valerie Bauman uses her own story as a lens into this movement of people attempting to dodge the costly and often discriminatory world of sperm banks and fertility clinics. Inconceivable is a window into the unfair legal, financial, and medical entanglements that compel many single women and LGBTQ+ couples to take their fertility into their own hands"-- $c Provided by publisher. 541 $d 20240416. 650 $a Family planning. 650 $a Sperm banks $x Social aspects. 650 $a Reproductive technology $x Social aspects. 650 $a Fertility clinics $x Social aspects. 650 7 $a BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY / Personal Memoirs. 650 7 $a FAMILY & RELATIONSHIPS / Parenting / Motherhood. 941 $a 1 952 $l DBPE173 $d 20240606010043.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=1456CFBE23CA11EFBBC53B2E20ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
