From the start, they have stirred controversy and raised profound questions: Should there be limits to the lengths to which people can go to make their idea of family a reality? Who should pay for treatment? How can we ensure the ethical use of these technologies? And what can be done to address the racial and economic disparities in access to care that enable some to have children while others go without? In The Pursuit of Parenthood, historian Margaret Marsh and gynecologist Wanda Ronner seek to answer these challenging questions. Bringing their unique expertise in gender history and women's health to the subject, Marsh and Ronner examine the unprecedented means--liberating for some and deeply unsettling for others--by which families can now be created. Beginning with the early efforts to create embryos outside a woman's body and ending with such new developments as mitochondrial replacement techniques and uterus transplants, the authors assess the impact of contemporary reproductive technology in the United States."-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Fertilization in vitro $x History. 650 0 $a Infertility $x History. 650 0 $a Infertility $x Treatment. 650 0 $a Reproductive health $x History. 650 7 $a Fertilization in vitro. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00923195 650 7 $a Infertility. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00972366 650 7 $a Infertility $x Treatment. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00972390 650 7 $a Reproductive health. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01095004 650 12 $a Fertilization in Vitro $x history. 650 22 $a Reproductive Techniques, Assisted $x history. 650 22 $a Infertility $x history. 650 22 $a Infertility $x therapy. 650 22 $a Reproductive Medicine $x history. 650 22 $a Health Policy. 651 2 $a United States. 650 7 $a MEDICAL / Reproductive Medicine & Technology. $2 bisacsh 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 700 1 $a Ronner, Wanda, $e author. 941 $a 1 952 $l CEAX572 $d 20200508023015.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=CC451C2C90F111EA86A69E4897128E48 994 $a 92 $b UINInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
