       just around the corner -- From first dream to first baby -
       - IVF comes to America -- From miracle births to medical 
       mainstream -- The elusive search for national consensus --
       A lot of money being made -- Beyond infertility -- Can the
       Wild West of reproductive medicine be tamed?. 
520    "Since the 1978 birth of the first IVF baby, Louise Brown,
       in England, more than eight million children have been 
       born with the help of assisted reproductive technologies. 
       From the start, they have stirred controversy and raised 
       profound questions: Should there be limits to the lengths 
       to which people can go to make their idea of family a 
       reality? Who should pay for treatment? How can we ensure 
       the ethical use of these technologies? And what can be 
       done to address the racial and economic disparities in 
       access to care that enable some to have children while 
       others go without? In The Pursuit of Parenthood, historian
       Margaret Marsh and gynecologist Wanda Ronner seek to 
       answer these challenging questions. Bringing their unique 
       expertise in gender history and women's health to the 
       subject, Marsh and Ronner examine the unprecedented means-
       -liberating for some and deeply unsettling for others--by 
       which families can now be created. Beginning with the 
       early efforts to create embryos outside a woman's body and
       ending with such new developments as mitochondrial 
       replacement techniques and uterus transplants, the authors
       assess the impact of contemporary reproductive technology 
       in the United States." --|cProvided by publisher.
