     "This is a work of compass, depth, breadth, and philosophical power. It confronts the moral diversity that reveals feminism in the plural, successfully exploring the issues and confronting the practical challenges with which we are left." — H. Tristram Engelhardt, Jr., Baylor College of Medicine and Rice University, author of The Foundations of Bioethics....

     


 "Rosemarie Tong is a leading thinker about feminism and bioethics. Her new book should be welcomed as a remarkable effort to sort out the major feminist and nonfeminist approaches to bioethics and to show how they lead to different perspectives on central problems. Rosemarie Tong uses her considerable talents as philosopher, feminist, and bioethicist to make a major contribution to the field." — Thomas H. Murray, Center for Biomedical Ethics, Case Western Reserve University.

     No other cluster of medical issues affects the genders as differently as those related to procreation—contraception, sterilization, abortion, artificial insemination, in-vitro fertilization, surrogate motherhood, and genetic screening. Rosemarie Tong's approach to feminist bioethics serves as a catalyst to bring together different feminist voices in hope of actually doing, something to make gender equity a present reality rather than a mere future possibility.
