Description
"Rayna Rapp, one of America's leading feminist anthropologists, has spent more than a decade researching the social impact of amniocentesis. Drawing upon hundreds of women's stories - and her own - she shows us the human faces behind these new reproductive technologies. Their lives, their stories, and their decisions ask difficult questions about the role of scientific knowledge and genetic research in understanding what it is to be human."--BOOK JACKET.
