In this book, leading scholars investigate the difficult ethical, legal, and policy issues that surround egg donation and the new reproductive technologies as a whole. Of special interest are feminist inquiries into perceptions of women involved in egg donation; the effects of race, ethnicity, and socioeconomic status on the uses of such technologies; and moral and theological questions about whether third-party egg donation should be used at all. In addition, the book describes procedures at four egg-donation centers in the U.S. and presents a new set of guidelines from the National Advisory Board on Ethics in Reproduction (NABER), a private-sector panel with members from the fields of ethics, theology, law, medicine, genetics, and public policy.
