Millions of Americans rely on the likes of birth control, IVF, and
genetic testing to make plans as intimate and farreaching as any
over a lifetime. This is no less than the medicine of miracles. It
fills empty cradles, frees families from terrible disease, and
empowers them to fashion their lives on their own terms. But
accidents happen. Pharmacists mix up pills. Lab techs misread
tests. Obstetricians tell women their healthy fetuses would be
stillborn. Political and economic forces conspire against
regulation. And judges throw up their hands when professionals
foist parenthood on people who didn't want it, or childlessness on
those who did. Failed abortions, switched donors, and lost embryos
may be first-world problems. But these aren't innocent lapses or
harmless errors. They're wrongs in need of rights. This book lifts
the curtain on reproductive negligence, gives voice to the lives it
upends, and vindicates the interests that advances in medicine and
technology bring to full expression. It charts the legal universe
of errors that: (1) deprive pregnancy or parenthood of people who
set out to pursue them; (2) impose pregnancy or parenthood on those
who tried to avoid these roles; or (3) confound efforts to have a
child with or without certain genetic traits. This novel
architecture forces citizens and courts to rethink the reproductive
controversies of our time, and equips us to meet the new
challenges-from womb transplants to gene editing-that lie just over
the horizon.
