It is becoming increasingly clear that members of a host nation as
well as newcomers have to learn what it means to live
democratically in a multi-ethnic world and to accept diversity
without fear or rancor. This volume, a result of a conference
sponsored by the Spencer Foundation, asks a question of increasing
significance in view of post World War II immigration patterns and
the spread of democratic forms of government: "What can educational
researchers and practitioners do to prepare our youth for
cooperative, constructive living in a democracy?" This book
illustrates how six post-industrial nations -- Canada, Germany,
Israel, The Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and the United States
-- have met or failed to meet this challenge.
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.
