High-Tech Babies
For couples who want a baby, infertility can be a crushing blow. While modern medicine has more ways to help them than ever before, some people question the ethics involved. Author Kathleen Winkler describes the amazing techniques available, including intrauterine insemination, in vitro fertilization, and surrogacy, as well as even more cutting-edge methods that may be available in the future. She also looks at different arguments over assisted reproduction in order to help students form their own conclusions about this controversial subject.

Issues in Focus Today series. This series identifies and presents current hot topics that are frequent term-paper subjects for young adults. The basic research behind and controversies about stem cells, infertility treatments, and food allergies are clearly presented in short, easy-to-read chapters. Color photographs of scientists in action are interesting, but many of the photos are stiffly staged, making the design look textbookish. Reading list, websites.
