"""Whether it is examining the long history of humankind’s struggle with infertility and disputes over eugenics, engaging with the most current debates, or contextualizing the struggles of those seeking to access reproductive technologies, this from one of world’s leading scholars is a must-read for those in the field.""—Glenn Cohen, Harvard Law School and co-editor of The Oxford Handbook of U.S. Healthcare Law -- Glenn Cohen “With deep knowledge, sympathetic insight, and lucid writing, Judith Daar shows how the current system of assisted reproductive technology fails so many with correctible reproductive problems. Her powerful book is a reminder of the importance of a wide vision in bringing new medical technologies to persons in need.”—John A. Robertson, Author of Children of Choice: Freedom and the New Reproductive Technologies -- John A. Robertson ""Complex and reflective, this book exposes the sorry state of access to infertility care. One is hard pressed to think of a more compelling treatise on an all-American case of social injustice.""—Eli Y. Adashi, MD, MS, The Warren Alpert Medical School, Brown University -- Eli Y. Adashi “An important and perspective-changing book, switching the focus on 'eugenics' to how the current U.S. reproduction industry works to exclude from parenthood those who aren’t well-off, white, a heterosexual couple, or able-bodied.”—Henry T. Greely, Stanford University, author of The End of Sex and the Future of Human Reproduction -- Henry T. Greely"
