About this title

Synopsis

Explains that long-acting and reversible contraceptives such as Norplant and Depo-Provera, praised as highly effective, moderately priced, and generally safe, are already being used as tools of coercive social policy, required, for example to receive welfare benefits and probation. Developed from a two-year project, 11 papers explore moral and policy issues from perspectives that include medicine, ethics, law, and the social sciences. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
