Women most fully experience the consequences of human reproductive
technologies. Men who convene to evaluate such technologies discuss
"them": the women who must accept, avoid, or even resist these
technologies; the women who consume technologies they did not
devise; the women who are the objects of policies made by men. So
often the input of women is neither sought nor listened to. The
privileged insights and perspectives that women bring to the
consideration of technologies in human reproduction are the subject
of these volumes, which constitute the revised and edited record of
a Workshop on "Ethical Issues in Human Reproduction Technology:
Analysis by Women" (EIRTAW), held in June, 1979, at Hampshire
College in Amherst, Massachusetts. Some 80 members of the workshop,
90 percent of them women (from 24 states), represented diverse
occupations and personal histories, different races and classes,
varied political commitments. They included doctors, nurses, and
scientists, lay midwives, consumer advocates, historians, and
sociologists, lawyers, policy analysts, and ethicists. Each
session, however, made plain that ethics is an everyday concern for
women in general, as well as an academic profession for some.
