Bodies in Glass is an extensive analysis of feminist approaches to IVF and other new techniques covered by the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Act 1990. Deborah Steinberg exlores the professional and legal cultures of IVF, selective breeding ideologies and embryo 'rights' politics in this innovative and topical book. ER -
