Reproductive Ethics

“This book is needed in the context of bioethics and provides a unique and refreshing take on reproductive ethics that will benefit a new generation of philosophers, clinicians, and bioethicists. … It will be useful to students in biomedical ethics courses, medical students hoping to enter the field of obstetrics, genetics counselors, or nursing students. … This book is essential reading for scholars interested in the vast field of reproductive ethics.” (Jaime Konerman-Sease, Doody's Book Reviews, February, 2018)
