Oncofertility has emerged as a way to address potential lost or
impaired fertility in cancer patients and survivors, with active
biomedical research that is developing new ways to help these
individuals preserve their ability to have biological children. In
order to move beyond oncofertility as a science and medical
technology and begin to address the ethical, legal, and social
ramifications of this emerging field, we must give voice to
scholars from the humanities and social sciences to engage in a
multidisciplinary discussion. This book brings together a pool of
experts from a variety of fields, including communication,
economics, ethics, history, law, religion, and sociology, to
examine the complex issues raised by recent developments in
oncofertility and to offer advice from national and international
perspectives as we create new technology. Given the inherent
interdisciplinary nature of oncofertility, this book is not only
valuable, but also necessary to cultivate a deep understanding of
new issues with the eventual aim of offering proposals for
addressing them. Indeed, this book will be useful for people not
only within the humanities and social sciences disciplines but also
for those who are confronted with cancer and the possibility of
impaired fertility and the medical practitioners within oncology
and reproductive medicine who are at the front lines of this
emerging field.
