Mary
Warnock steers a clear path through the web of complex
issues underlying the use of new reproductive technologies.
She begins by analysing what it means to claim something
as a "right" and goes on to discuss the cases
of different sorts of people. She also examines the ethical
problems posed by IVF, egg donation and surrogacy, and
argues that in the future
human cloning may become an acceptable form of treatment
