Babymaking exists to help the estimated 50,000,000 people worldwide who are affected by infertility. It includes test-tube conception; surrogacy; swapping eggs, sperm and embryos; and freezing, dissecting and transferring embryos. Some of the projects for the next ten years in this field are egg freezing, sex selection in embryos, the detection of genetic diseases before and embryo implants in the womb, egg and embryo surgery, the "fusing" of embryos and splitting embryos to make identical twins. Scientists predict that in the next 25 years "pregnancy" could be entirely in the laboratory and male pregnancy may be a reality. This book is designed to help people understand what is going on in laboratories around the world, how the ethical and legal dilemmas are being tackled and who is attempting to control the new reproductive technologies. Susan Downie, a medical writer, travelled to four continents and inter viewed more than 230 people from 27 countries before writing "Babymaking".

“Will the future confront us with human GMOs? Greely provocatively declares yes, and, while clearly explaining the science, spells out the ethical, political, and practical ramifications.”—Paul Berg, Nobel Laureate and recipient of the National Medal of Science Within twenty, maybe forty, years most people in developed countries will stop having sex for the purpose of reproduction. Instead, prospective parents will be told as much as they wish to know about the genetic makeup of dozens of embryos, and they will pick one or two for implantation, gestation, and birth. And it will be safe, lawful, and free. In this work of prophetic scholarship, Henry T. Greely explains the revolutionary biological technologies that make this future a seeming inevitability and sets out the deep ethical and legal challenges humanity faces as a result. “Readers looking for a more in-depth analysis of human genome modifications and reproductive technologies and their legal and ethical implications should strongly consider picking up Greely’s The End of Sex and the Future of Human Reproduction... [It has] the potential to empower readers to make informed decisions about the implementation of advancements in genetics technologies.” —Dov Greenbaum, Science “[Greely] provides an extraordinarily sophisticated analysis of the practical, political, legal, and ethical implications of the new world of human reproduction. His book is a model of highly informed, rigorous, thought-provoking speculation about an immensely important topic.” —Glenn C. Altschuler, Psychology Today
