The end of abortion
Fascinating book about technology's use in aiding reproduction. The author takes us down the road science is paving that is clearly absent moral consideration. One of the most fascinating aspects, though, of the futureof technology in reproduction is the coming of an artificial womb that willallow transplants of embryos and fetuses. The implications of thistechnology on the abortion debate is likely to be staggering. According tothe infamous Roe V. Wade ruling, a fetus that can live outside of themother with the aid of technology is viable, and therefore protectable bylaw. Fetal transplants, using artificial wombs, will end the violence ofabortion in this country. I look forward to the day!

Product Description
What is the right time to have a baby? And if starting a family means interrupting your career, cementing your relationship irrevocably, permanently changing your way of life - how does anyone decide the right time? This book examines the whole issue of reproduction and family planning, and argues that fertility education is as much of a necessity for adults as sex education is for children. Drawing on a number of real case histories, Maureen Freely and Celia Pyper consider contraception and the links between children, youth and death, and offer a revolutionary view on how to be as rational as possible about the biggest and perhaps the wildest decision we ever make. ...

Product Description
Human beings may share 98 percent of their genetic makeup with their nonhuman primate cousins, but they have distinctive life histories. When and why did these uniquely human patterns evolve? To answer that question, this volume brings together specialists in hunter-gatherer behavioral ecology and demography, human growth, development, and nutrition, paleodemography, human paleontology, primatology, and the genomics of aging. The contributors identify and explain the peculiar features of human life histories, such as the rate and timing of processes that directly influence survival and reproduction. Drawing on new evidence from paleoanthropology, they question existing arguments that link humans' extended childhood dependency and long "post-reproductive" lives to brain development, learning, and distinctively human social structures. The volume reviews alternative explanations for the distinctiveness of human life history and incorporates multiple lines of evidence in order to test them. ... Read more

Representing the Current State of the Art
The DNA of humans differs from the DNA of the other primates by only about 2%. But that 2% means: speech, higher level thinking, enhanced tool using,and minor changes like much less body hair.

This book is a look at how these differences came about that is written by a series of specialists in areas as diverse as behavioral ecology, human growth and development, paleodemography, paleontology and more. They analyze the peculiar features of human life histories that directly indluence survival and reproduction.

The book does not take a dogmatic approach, but reviews alternative explanations for the distinctiveness of human life history and gives multiple lines of evidence in order to test them.

The authors of the various sections of the book represent a who's who of thinkers in this area from around the world, and reflects on the latest evidence from paleoanthropology. They question the existing body of theory and present alternatives. ... Read more
