Award-winning journalist Liza Mundy captures the human
narratives, as well as the science, behind the
controversial, multibillion-dollar fertility industry, and
examines how this huge social experiment is transforming
our most basic relationships and even our destiny as a
species. Skyrocketing infertility rates and dizzying technological
advances are revolutionizing American families and changing
the way we think about parenthood, childbirth, and life
itself. Using in-depth reporting and riveting anecdotal
material from doctors, families, surrogates, sperm and egg
donors, infertile men and women, single and gay and lesbian
parents, and children conceived through technology, Mundy
explores the impact of assisted reproduction on individuals
as well as the ethical issues raised and the potentially
vast social consequences. The unforgettable personal
stories in Everything Conceivable run the gamut from joyous
to tragic; all of them raise questions we dare not ignore.
