Description
Raymond argues that high-tech reproductive technologies violate the integrety of women's bodies, perpetuate an international trafficking in children and prostitution, and are a threat to women's basic human rights.
Description
In Women and Wombs, leading feminist ethicist Janice Raymond's scathing analysis of high-tech biomedical reproductive techniques contributes groundbreaking insights into the raging debate over reproductive technology and its ethical, legal, and political implications. She asserts that, far from being liberatory issues of "choice," these techniques--including in vitro fertilization, surrogacy, and sex predetermination--are actually a threat to women's basic human rights.
