It also examines controversial subjects such as abortion, and surrogate motherhood.The first comprehensive handling of feminist bioethics
"[Sherwin] seeks to educate her readers and to recruit them to join her efforts at reform. The result is an excellent introduction to applied feminism for anyone willing to entertain a fresh perspective on health care ethics."
