The Babymakers


Book Description

Blaine Rutledge, director of the Mercy Family Planning Center, has a secret. In the basement, his mistress Marie Constantine, involved in a secret love affair of her own, is performing in vitro fertilizations on young women kidnapped from their homes by a person referred to as the "medical student." Sara Dupont, a beautiful, young obstetrics resident inadvertently discovers the scheme while searching for a new admission's old records. Meanwhile, a local preacher, Boyd Preston, and his son Prescott lead around-the-clock anti-abortion protests against the center. Suspecting foul play when Prescott goes missing, even an injunction obtained by Rutledge through dubious means will not keep the right reverend away. Caught in a love triangle between Lance Dorf, her co-resident in obstetrics, and Jeff Michaels, chief radiology resident, Sara does not know whom to trust when several attempts, both real and imagined, are made on her life. Leading to a captivating and page turning climax, these kidnappings, protests, affairs and killings, both attempted and successful, should have but one conclusion. Will Rutledge have his way with the babymakers, or will good trump evil? The answer is but a read away.




Baby Makers


Book Description

The baby makers are many. The couples who supply the genetic material, the embryologists who create test-tube babies, the gynaecologists who insert embryos into wombs and deliver the babies and, most importantly, the surrogates themselves. Thenthere are the agents who source the surrogates, organize fertility tourism packages and even arrange for babies to be ordered over the Internet using frozen genetic material supplied by the intending parents. Eggs, sperm and viable embryos can be bought and sold like any commodity. The terrain is complex, there are thorny ethical issues involved and very delicate emotional ones too.This is a book about surrogacy in India and how it transformed itself from a marginalized and socially unacceptable procedure into a multimillion-dollar industry. It is a non-judgemental, open-minded enquiry into surrogacy laws (rather, the lack of them) and the many cogs in the process. Baby Makers uses rigorous journalistic research and compelling personal narratives to paint a picture that is as fascinating as it is frightening.

GUYnecology


Book Description

What is healthy sperm or the male biological clock? This book details why we don't talk about men's reproductive health and how this lack shapes reproductive politics today. For more than a century, the medical profession has made enormous efforts to understand and treat women’s reproductive bodies. But only recently have researchers begun to ask basic questions about how men’s health matters for reproductive outcomes, from miscarriage to childhood illness. What explains this gap in knowledge, and what are its consequences? Rene Almeling examines the production, circulation, and reception of biomedical knowledge about men’s reproductive health. From a failed nineteenth-century effort to launch a medical specialty called andrology to the contemporary science of paternal effects, there has been a lack of attention to the importance of men’s age, health, and exposures. Analyzing historical documents, media messages, and qualitative interviews, GUYnecology demonstrates how this non-knowledge shapes reproductive politics today.
