This volume is divided into two parts. The first part provides an overview of assisted reproductive technologies, including what they are, how they developed, who is involved in their provision, and how different jurisdictions have dealt with them. The second part then focusses on one particular infertility treatment, donor insemination; but the profound social and ethical issues the studies explore regarding this topic have wide rrelevance to many infertility treatments, particularly those involving the use of sperm, eggs, or embryos from a third party. gccst Commissions of inquiry gccst Reproductive technology gccst Fertility Canada.
