In Delivering Policy, Francesca Scala employs the concept of boundary work to explain the prolonged debates that ensued when the Canadian government appointed a royal commission in 1989 to draw up a blueprint for legislative action. From the birth of the first "test tube baby" in 1978 to the passage of the Assisted Human Reproduction Act in 2004, Scala reveals how policy makers, civil society actors, and members of the medical-scientific community attempted to define assisted reproductive technologies from within the realms of science or politics. They challenged, defended, or blurred the divisions between the two fields of knowledge to secure their position as the authoritative voice not only on the issue of ARTs but also on the governance of science more broadly. Delivering Policy delineates in vivid detail the people, institutions, and processes--from royal commissions and public consultations to parliamentary politics--that influenced ARTs policy in Canada. This compelling account contributes to our understanding of the interaction between science and politics, the exercise of social control over science and technology, and the politics of expertise in policy making"--Provided by publisher. 530 $a Issued also in electronic format. 650 0 $a Human reproductive technology $x Law and legislation $z Canada. 650 0 $a Human reproductive technology $x Government policy $z Canada. 650 0 $a Science and state $z Canada. 650 0 $a Technology and state $z Canada. 650 7 $a Human reproductive technology $x Government policy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00963264 650 7 $a Human reproductive technology $x Law and legislation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00963266 650 7 $a Science and state. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01108536 650 7 $a Technology and state. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01145265 651 7 $a Canada. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204310 776 1 $a Scala, Francesca, author. $t Delivering policy.: $d Vancouver ; Toronto : UBC Press, 2019. $w (CaOONL)2018905669X 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20200318013709.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=082890B6083F11EABF3FA51A97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
