Mary Warnock studies the issues underlying reproductive technologies. She analyses what it means to claim something as a 'right' and discusses the cases of different groups of people. She examines the ethical problems faced by types of assisted reproduction and argues that human cloning may be a viable form of treatment for infertility. The development of new reproductive technologies has raised urgent questions and debates about how and by whom these treatments should be controlled. On the one hand individuals and groups have claimed access to assisted reproduction as a right, and some have also claimed that this access should be available free of charge. As well as clinically infertile heterosexual couples, this right has been claimed by single women, gay couples, post-menopausal women, and couples who wish to delay having children for various reasons. Others have argued that a desire to have children does not make it a human right, and, moreover, that there are some people who should not be assisted to become parents, on grounds of age, sexuality, or lifestyle. Mary Warnock steers a clear path through the web of complex issues underlying these views. She begins by analyzing what it means to claim something as a 'right', and goes on to discuss the cases of different groups of people. She also examines the ethical problems faced by particular types of assisted reproduction, including artificial insemination, in-vitro fertilization, and surrogacy, and argues that in the future human cloning may well be a viable and acceptable form of treatment for some types of infertility.

"Sylvia Ann Hewlett, the acclaimed author of When the Bough Breaks: The Cost of Neglecting Our Children, tackles one of the most wrenching challenges for women today - creating rich multidimensional lives that contain both career and children." "Almost half of all professional women are childless at age forty. The more a woman succeeds in her career, the less likely it is that she will have a partner or a baby. For men the opposite is true: the more successful a man is professionally, the more likely it is that he will be married with children." "Hewlett brings to the book her substantial expertise as a policy analyst and her own difficult experiences of pregnancy and motherhood. Combining poignant and compelling portraits of women's lives with a groundbreaking survey commissioned specifically for this book, she gives voice to women's hopes and anguish and unearths stunning new information. For example, 42 percent of women in corporate America are childless at age forty (compared to 25 percent of men), but only 14 percent planned to be. Hewlett's research reveals a host of circumstances that have conspired to produce brutal trade-offs in the lives of professional women: America's long-hours corporate culture, a stubbornly traditional division of labor at home, and a fertility industry that lulls women into a false sense that they can get pregnant deep into middle age."

Stem cell research, therapeutic cloning, and preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) are just a few of the issues receiving attention in the medical and general press. As new procedures, techniques, and treatment options become available, new ethical issues arise. Ethical Dilemmas in Reproduction examines the ever-changing interaction between ethics, society, and scientific advances in reproduction.It covers: The implications of PGD becoming PGS - selection rather than diagnosis Defining the embryo and its status in relation to the child to be How the debate on the embryo and its status changes with advances such as therapeutic cloning and the use of stem cells Evaluating the risks of multiple birth pregnancies and the material, psychological, and marital stress a couple may face The dilemmas that new techniques such as oocyte and ovarian freezing raise for women considering ways to preserve their fertility Preparing prospective parents for the psychological effects of secrecy and anonymity associated with children conceived through gamete donation The dilemmas involved in helping HIV patients have children The medical profession as a whole faces the responsibility of integrating the benefits of a new technique within the ethical questions raised in using that technique. Nowhere is this more evident than in the science of reproduction. Your patients depend upon your advice when making decisions in this sensitive area. Ethical Dilemmas in Reproduction provides a framework for articulating the issues and making decisions. This text examines the ever-changing interaction between ethics, society and scientific advances in reproduction. It seeks to provide a framework for doctors to articulate issues to patients in order to assist the decision-making process.
