Synopsis

"Beyond Conception" is a feminist critique of the new reproductive and genetic technologies whose impact has been most apparent since the birth of the first "test-tube" baby. The author finds that these technologies are not created in women's interest. Instead, they require the subordination of women to science. Patricia Spallone is co-editor of "Made To Order - The Myth of Reproductive and Genetic Progress".

Review

"International in scope, this book is a feminist response to the new reproductive technologies and the genetic engineering being used on women--test-tube' fertilization, surrogacy, embryo flushing, sex preselection, and artifical hormones. It is concerned with what these procedures mean for women and with the accountability of the medical scientists who have created the technology. Spallone argues that the result is the subordination of women to the interests of medical scientists, population planners, the family, and the burgeoning biotechnology industry."-Women in Action ?International in scope, this book is a feminist response to the new reproductive technologies and the genetic engineering being used on women--test-tube' fertilization, surrogacy, embryo flushing, sex preselection, and artifical hormones.
