A courageous and distinguished leader in the maternal and child health field, Elizabeth Noble has written a startling analysis of the practical, legal, and ethical problems infertile couples face in becoming parents through third-party conception. Noble addresses these problems by examining the technological advances that are being made in the field of "assisted conception" and discussing the lessons of adoption reform as well as her own family's experience with donar insemination. She brings a remarkably encouraging and personal quality to this unique book and alerts us to the crucial importance of a complete genetic and family history for any child.
