Reproduction, ethics, and the law : feminist perspectives

Courts have assigned legal parenthood to genetic parents of children carried to term by women genetically unrelated to them, and courts have also passed over genetic progenitors to assign parenthood to individuals socially related to children. This title addresses moral and legal quandaries in society - those revolving around human reproduction.
