Descripciones mejoradas de Syndetics:

This book examines the controversial and increasingly complex policy issues surrounding reproduction today. Blank and Merrick argue that medical advances, changing social values, and novel legal cases are challenging conventional notions of reproductive rights, and creating difficult public policy dilemmas.

This exciting volume focuses on the conflicts surrounding reproduction and reproductive rights. Restricted access to abortion, rights of surrogate and biological mothers, the right to control fertility, fetal and embryo research, and a pregnant woman′s duty to avoid risk are among the timely issues explored in this book. Conflicts in the maternal-fetal relationship, such as court-ordered intervention, maternal substance abuse, and workplace hazards are also covered.

Includes bibliographical references (p. [229]-249) and index.

CHOICE Review

Blank and Merrick, who teach political science and government relations, discuss policies and issues in reproductive health care in a balanced and well-informed manner. A thorough and accurate overview of the laws, regulations, and court decisions related to each of the issues is presented in a historical format that so it is possible to trace the development of current policies. Many of the policies seem to have developed in a state of near crisis because the emerging technology or rapidly changing societal norms brought the new issues forward at such a rapid pace. For example, the modern neonatal intensive care unit is now able to save infants who are severely brain damaged or have other disabilities that compromise their quality of life. Policy in this arena has moved from one extreme to the other as the various concerned participants and political forces lobbied for their favored directions. Other reproductive issues covered in detail include abortion, contraception, sterilization, embryo research, assisted reproduction, and surrogate motherhood. Undergraduate through professional; two-year technical program students. B. Bullough; University of Southern California
