No other cluster of medical issues affects the genders as
differently as those related to procreation--contraception,
sterilization, abortion, artificial insemination, in vitro
fertilization, surrogate motherhood, and genetic screening. Yet,
the moral diversity among feminists has led to political
fragmentation, foiling efforts to create policies that are likely
to serve the interests of the largest possible number of women. In
this remarkable book, Rosemarie Tong offers an approach to feminist
bioethics that serves as a catalyst, bringing together the varied
perspectives on choice, control, and connection. Emphasizing the
complexity of feminist debates, she guides feminists toward
consensus in thought, cooperation in action, and a world that would
have no room for domination and subordination.Tong fairly and
comprehensively presents the traditions of both feminist and
non-feminist ethics. Although feminist approaches to bioethics
derive many insights from nonfeminist ethics and bioethics, Tong
shows that their primary source of inspiration is feminist ethics,
leading them to ask the so-called "woman question" in order to
raise women's consciousness about the systems, structures, and
relationships that oppress them. Feminist bioethicists are,
naturally, focused on acting locally in the worlds of medicine and
science. Their different feminist voices must be raised at the
policy table with one message in order to actually "do" something
to make gender equity a present reality rather than a mere future
possibility. Inability to define a plan that "guarantees"
liberation for all women must not prevent feminists from offering a
plan that promises to improve the estates of many women. Otherwise,
a perspective less appealing to women may fill the gap.
