Getting Pregnant in the 1980s: New Advances in Infertility Treatment and Sex Preselection provides a comprehensive guide to the rapidly evolving field of reproductive medicine during a transformative decade. This book consolidates the latest developments in infertility treatments, sex preselection, and related topics, offering a uniquely informed perspective from two experts—one a practicing physician and researcher specializing in infertility, the other a research scientist and innovator. By integrating medical insights with a critical evaluation of available technologies, the authors demystify complex treatments while encouraging active participation from readers in their healthcare decisions. Unlike other resources, this book avoids anecdotal case histories, instead delivering evidence-based information in a straightforward manner. Chapters address key issues, from infertility diagnosis and treatment options to ethical and social debates surrounding new reproductive technologies, such as in vitro fertilization, prenatal diagnostics, and the implications of genetic manipulation. The book also explores the societal and ethical dimensions of advanced reproductive interventions. Topics include the controversies surrounding surrogate motherhood, the limitations and risks of in vitro fertilization, and the potential impacts of sex preselection on social structures. While addressing moral concerns, the authors emphasize the transformative potential of these technologies, from empowering individuals to overcome infertility to enabling groundbreaking fetal surgeries and genetic research. With a forward-looking approach, the authors shed light on the promises and challenges of reproductive innovation, advocating for informed, ethical, and patient-centered use of these advancements. This volume is an essential resource for anyone seeking to understand the dynamic interplay of science, medicine, and society in the realm of human reproduction.
