Other Machine

<p>With technological advances in reproduction no longer confined to the laboratory or involving only the isolated individual women and men are increasingly resorting to a variety of technologies unheard of a few decades ago to assist them in becoming parents. The public at large and feminists as a group are confused and divided over how to view these technologies and over what positions to take on the moral and legal dilemmas they give rise to. <br><br> Farquhar argues that two perspectives have tended to dominate feminist discussions of these issues. She labels these: fundamental feminism and market liberalism. By linking a theoterical approach with a practical set of issues Farquhar's <strong><em>The Other Machine</em></strong> provides a rigorous analysis of contemporary feminist debates.</p>
