Does it mean different things for heterosexual parents and lesbian parents? What is it like for the 'non-genetic' parent? How do grandparents feel about having a grandchild who is conceived with the help of an egg, sperm or embryo donor? Since 1991 more than 35,000 children have been born in the UK as a result of donor conception. This means that more and more families are facing the issue of incorporating 'relative strangers' into their families. In this path breaking book, the authors explore the lived reality of donor conception in families by using in-depth interviews with parents and grandparents of donor conceived children. With reproductive medical technologies becoming more accessible, assisted donor conception is raising new and important questions about family life. This book will provide compelling reading for all those interested in the family, kinship, gender and sexuality, new reproductive technologies, and genetics (Publisher's website). 000684828 650_0 $$aHuman reproductive technology$$xSocial aspects. 000684828 650_0 $$aHuman embryo$$xTransplantation$$xSocial aspects. 000684828 650_0 $$aArtificial insemination, Human$$xSocial aspects. 000684828 7001_ $$aSmart, Carol,$$eauthor. 000684828 830_0 $$aPalgrave Macmillan studies in family and intimate life. 000684828 85200 $$bgen$$hRG133.5$$i.N67$$i2014 000684828 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:684828$$pGLOBAL_SET 000684828 980__ $$aBIB 000684828 980__ $$aBOOK
