Yale University Press

Millions of children have been born in the United States with the help of cutting-edge reproductive technologies, much to the delight of their parents.

In this groundbreaking work, Mason, a professor at the University of California, Berkeley and Ekman, a science writer consider, for the first time, the issue of regulating the fertility industry from the perspective of the children.
