      abstract = {This book explores how conditions for childbearing are  changing in the 21st century under the impact of new  biomedical technologies. Selective reproductive  technologies (SRTs) - technologies that aim to prevent or  promote the birth of particular kinds of children - are  increasingly widespread across the globe. Wahlberg and  Gammeltoft bring together a collection of essays providing  unique ethnographic insights on how SRTs are made available  within different cultural, socio-economic and regulatory  settings and how people perceive and make use of these new  possibilities as they envision and try to form their future  lives. Topics covered include sex-selective abortions,  termination of pregnancies following detection of fetal  anomalies during prenatal screening, the development of  preimplantation genetic diagnosis techniques as well as the  screening of potential gamete donors by egg agencies and  sperm banks. This is invaluable reading for scholars of  medical anthropology, medical sociology and science and  technology studies, as well as for the fields of gender  studies, reproductive health and genetic disease research.},
