Reviews
In her historical and contemporary analysis of legal regulation in each of these areas, she weaves erudite yet accessible translations of law, vivid depictions of cases, and personal insights to portray an industry critically in need of oversight., "This thoughtful and compelling book unveils the complexities of the gamete industry . . . Cahn writes in a manner that is engaging, entertaining and, to be honest, transforming." - Adoption Quarterly, "I would highly recommend this book as a valuable contribution to the existing literature on donor conception issues. Cahn provides thorough and balanced insights into the paradoxes between the science, the business, the humanity and the legalities of the donor conception industry. This book will be important for those working in the mental health or legal arenas of infertility. For parents, parents-to-be, donors and the donor conceived, this will be a valuable resource for understanding these legal complexities." - Wendy Kramer, Cofounder and Director of the Donor Sibling Registry, "Cahn explores the relationships that underpin artificial reproductive technology: parenting, donating, and becoming (those who are the children brought to life through this process). . . . Much about assisted reproduction are the relationships that are fostered and challenged by the use of the technology, whether donor to potential parent, potential parent to state, surrogate to intended mother, or embryo to clinic, and after it is all 'done,' child to parent." Michele Goodwin, author ofBlack Markets: The Supply and Demand of Body Parts"A much-needed, thorough, and fair-minded account of the legal history around Assisted Reproductive Technology and of the legal way forward for all our evolving families. As our society embraces the opportunities that fertility technology offers, Cahn makes sense of the complex field of issues that emerge and provides a feminist perspective on how best to define and protect the interests of gamete donors, of parents, and of children." Elizabeth Gregory, author ofReady: Why Women Are Embracing the New Later Motherhood, "In her careful and detailed analysis, Cahn builds a lawyerly case for comprehensive federal and state laws governing infertility treatment and establishing the legal rights and obligations of everyone involved in the process." -Bitch Magazine, "This consistently striking and fresh collection explores modernity's encryptions in bodies and machines, phantoms and genocidal trauma, nativism and bolshevism. I'm still trying to put it down." - Eric Lott, author of Love and Theft: Blackface Minstrelsy and the American Working Class, "This thoughtful and compelling book unveils the complexities of the gamete industry . . . Cahn writes in a manner that is engaging, entertaining and, to be honest, transforming." - Adoption Quarterly ,, "In her historical and contemporary analysis of legal regulation in each of these areas, she weaves erudite yet accessible translations of law, vivid depictions of cases, and personal insights to portray an industry critically in need of oversight." - New England Journal of Medicine, In describing the lengths to which people will go in order to produce a biological child, Cahn is both respectful of this very human desire and sensitive to the ethical and legal issues that result . . . That she also writes in accessible prose makes this a valuable text., "Professor Cahn proposes some useful reforms. Her proposals include legal consistency, particularly over the identity of donor conceived children and the rights of parents; transparency; a requirement to test gametes for serious genetic conditions; the provision of counseling to 'consumers'; and restrictions on the number of donations by any one donor."- Bio News, "In her careful and detailed analysis, Cahn builds a lawyerly case for comprehensive federal and state laws governing infertility treatment and establishing the legal rights and obligations of everyone involved in the process." - Bitch Magazine ,, Test Tube Families explores autonomy implicitly by examining the nature of relationships involved in the process of assisted conception using medical technology, and focusing on the reulatory environment in the USA., "In her historical and contemporary analysis of legal regulation in each of these areas, she weaves erudite yet accessible translations of law, vivid depictions of cases, and personal insights to portray an industry critically in need of oversight." -New England Journal of Medicine, "Test Tube Familiesexplores autonomy implicitly by examining the nature of relationships involved in the process of assisted conception using medical technology, and focusing on the reulatory environment in the USA." -Hazel Biggs, Feminist Legal Studies, "Professor Cahn proposes some useful reforms. Her proposals include legal consistency, particularly over the identity of donor conceived children and the rights of parents; transparency; a requirement to test gametes for serious genetic conditions; the provision of counseling to 'consumers'; and restrictions on the number of donations by any one donor."- Bio News,, This thoughtful and compelling book unveils the complexities of the gamete industry . . . Cahn writes in a manner that is engaging, entertaining and, to be honest, transforming., In the United States, there is a competitive market in human eggs provided for reproductive purposes. An 'extraordinary' egg donor can earn as much as $50,000 when she offers her eggs to an infertile couple. In California, however, that same 'extraordinary' individual would receive nothing, aside from payment for her direct expenses, if she provided those same eggs for research purposes. That could change soon., In her careful and detailed analysis, Cahn builds a lawyerly case for comprehensive federal and state laws governing infertility treatment and establishing the legal rights and obligations of everyone involved in the process., "Naomi Cahn argues that a distinction can be made, albeit very carefully, between reproductive privacy and public-health concerns." - Peggy Orenstein,The NYTimes, "Test Tube Families explores autonomy implicitly by examining the nature of relationships involved in the process of assisted conception using medical technology, and focusing on the reulatory environment in the USA." -Hazel Biggs, Feminist Legal Studies, "In her careful and detailed analysis, Cahn builds a lawyerly case for comprehensive federal and state laws governing infertility treatment and establishing the legal rights and obligations of everyone involved in the process." - Bitch Magazine, Professor Cahn proposes some useful reforms. Her proposals include legal consistency, particularly over the identity of donor conceived children and the rights of parents; transparency; a requirement to test gametes for serious genetic conditions; the provision of counseling to & consumers; and restrictions on the number of donations by any one donor., "A much-needed, thorough, and fair-minded account of the legal history around ART and of the legal way forward for all our evolving families. As our society embraces the opportunities that fertility technology offers, Cahn makes sense of the complex field of issues that emerge and provides a feminist perspective on how best to define and protect the interests of gamete donors, of parents and of children." - Elizabeth Gregory, author ofReady: Why Women Are Embracing the New Later Motherhood, "In describing the lengths to which people will go in order to produce a biological child, Cahn is both respectful of this very human desire and sensitive to the ethical and legal issues that result . . . That she also writes in accessible prose makes this a valuable text." - Choice, ("Professor Cahn proposes some useful reforms.

That she also writes in accessible prose makes this a valuable text." -Choice, "An intriguing investigation of the cultures and counter-cultures of modernity. Dealing in subjects ranging from black bolshevism to feminist kitsch, from the Hoover Dam to the Reno divorce factory, the authors retell the story of American modernity in ways that are fascinating, illuminating and often unexpected." - Rita Felski, author of Doing Time: Feminist Theory and Postmodern Culture, Professor Cahn proposes some useful reforms. Her proposals include legal consistency, particularly over the identity of donor conceived children and the rights of parents; transparency; a requirement to test gametes for serious genetic conditions; the provision of counseling to 'consumers'; and restrictions on the number of donations by any one donor., "A much-needed, thorough, and fair-minded account of the legal history around Assisted Reproductive Technology and of the legal way forward for all our evolving families.
