This book examines critical social-policy issues emerging from
recent developments in human reproductive technology. Although
considerable attention has been focused on the ethical dimensions
of these developments, the policy dimension has largely been
obscured.Dr. Blank now provides a far-ranging overview of the
cumulative impact on society of a wide array of new reproductive
technologies and the social patterns that accompany or precede
their application.The book begins with a description of the current
context of reproductive decision making. Dr. Blank demonstrates how
emerging technologies are producing complex and intense
social-policy concerns,then reviews in detail human reproductive
technologies, and illustrates the significant consequences of
technological innovations for political and legal concepts of
rights and obligations. (Examples include recent cases involving
torts for wrongful life.) He analyzes possible alterations in the
moral and legal status of the fetus in light of apparent
technological and social-policy trends and presents a paradigm of
fetal rights that reflects these changes. A final case is made for
a comprehensive assessment of reproductive technologies, as well as
for the urgent need to refine concepts of human life that in the
past have been taken for granted, but that now are being
challenged.
