Contemporary Ethical Dilemmas in Assisted Reproduction

Ethical dilemmas are more common in assisted reproduction than in any
other area of medicine. Providing a framework for discussing and
articulating to patients the topical issues in assisted reproduction,
this text examines the ever-changing interaction between ethics,
society, and scientific advances in the area. This third volume of
ethical debates includes chapters on assisted reproduction for
parents with HIV and Hep-C, posthumous reproduction and non-Christian
religious ethics in relation to assisted reproduction.
