Description: With the rigor of a dedicated scholar and the passion of a committed activist, Nancy Lublin offers a fresh perspective on the ethical dimensions of providing and using reproductive technologies, including contraception, assisted conception, and antenatal intervention. Combining feminist philosophy and legal theory, Lublin considers these issues under a single category that she calls technological intervention in the womb. She addresses the positions of technophiliacs (who advocate acceptance of technological intervention in the womb as a source of liberation), technophiles feminists (who reject artificial invasions as anti-natural and anti-women), and other feminists who have argued that technological intervention in the womb should be legal and available to women because freedom of choice should be gender-neutral. Lublin identifies core principles that are common to a kaleidoscope of feminist theories, and she argues that a materialist feminism provides the most effective framework for establishing public policy and creating social change in the name of gender justice.
