Rich in fetal termination technique
Powerful instruction in how to kill unborn children in 'collateral damage' language. The language is terse but succinct enough to focus on the procedure rather than the ethics. A concise textual reference in 'termination' of the unborn.

Fantastic for students and physicians
This text provides a thorough overview of social and medical aspects of abortion, written at a level appropriate for physicians and medical students/residents. It is a comprehensive and well-written introduction to abortion practices and techniques and a great reference.

An excellent resource!
Cara Birrittieri has written an important book for both patients concerned about their fertilty and for health professionals.Knowledge can only enhance the ability of a woman to make the decisions which are appropriate for them. This author has clearly and concisely given us the tools needed to understand the process of conception and the potential problems which could prevent this. As an obstetrician/gynecologist with 25 years of experience treating women with a myriad of problems, I would not hesitate to recommend this book to my patients.
A book you must read!
I was 32 after trying to conceive for 1 year when I and my husband sought the help of a Reproductive Endocrinologist. After simple blood work tests were completed we sat across the desk from a top fertility specialist and were told my FSH was elevated and would possible never conceive my own child.I was a 32 year-old healthy, educated, professional women suddenly finding myself lost, and drowning in an ocean of results, terminology, statistical outcomes, andtreatments that has forever changed my life and my hoped for family.Had Cara's book been available at that time in my life I would have founds answers and a plan of action that I was so desperately in need of.Thankfully this book has been written, and written well, by an award-winning journalist who has specialized in health and medicine. The depth of research and the manner in which it was written allows women to learn about their fertility and their choices in a comprehensible way that is needed for the majority of us who are not medically trained.
A must read
This book is a must read for all women.Many of us find out too late the significance of that three letter word... FSH.Something so simple as a bloodtest should be offered by OB/GYNs with annual exams.The media fools us to believe that IVF is the answer to our infertility problems.If you are a low responder with diminished ovarian reserve you are first of all going to have to look high and low for a Doctor and Clinic who will even come within ten feet of you.Clinics care about their stats and don't let them tell you otherwise.It is not an easy road and women should be informed about this early on.An elevated FSH does not just impact a woman 35 or above.There are many young women that are faced with this challenge also.I came across Cara's book after that dreaded first FSH test.I learned about what was actually going on with my body, what I could do, and what my options were.I have had a long journey on this path, but am thankful to the author for having taken the time to write her book and educate women of all ages. ...

Fertility Wisdom
I have two beautiful children thanks to the fantastic treatment I received at Dr. Wu's Healing Center.This book will explain how medical treatment at her clinic transformed me from an "infertile woman" as the Western doctors described me, into busy mother of two little boys.The methods Dr. Wu uses often seemed strange to me.I still don't understand how it all works,but I don't know exactly how my fax machine works either.I simply know that it does.I am currently involved with my third round - hoping for baby #3.My story is in her book.My book name is Lila and my children are called John and Tanner.If you are struggling with infertility, read this book!Gotta go..crying baby! :-) ...

Social & Scientific Impact
Scott has done an excellent job in concisely presenting both the social & scientific impact of stem cell science, in an engaging & objective manner. I particularly enjoy the sections that illustrate the complicated ethical arguments behind the current debates about the field.
Excellent resource to better understand this important issue
As a resident of the state of California, I participated in a recent election where we voted on whether or not to publicly fund stem cell research.A friend gave me a paper that explained her church's view on the matter and why they opposed it.Being a religious person myself (of a different faith which has not voiced an opinion on the issue) I could relate to some of the same concerns.Then recently I heard a radio interview with the author of this book where he contradicted some of the "facts" I had read, so I decided to learn more for myself.

A practical manual
Men with spinal cord injuries have questions on sexuality and self-worth, but most studies on the topic narrow the focus to the concern of fertility. Robert Baer has had years of experience working in community mental health and private rehabilitation, presenting seminars on sexuality and disabilities: Is Fred Dead? A Manual On Sexuality For Men With Spinal Cord Injuries is a practical manual on sexuality for men with spinal cord injuries which addresses issues ranging from dating and understanding the sexual response cycle to sex alternatives.
An excellant resource
Dr. Baer has covered all the esential topics that a male with a SCI would want to know: from detailed anatomic drawings to illustrate positions, to relationship issues (e.g., how to handle cathers in an intimate situation) and how to handle the interpersonal issues. This is a thoughtful, rigorous book that is educational, not purient, and written from first-hand experience. For both patients and their loved ones. ... Read more
