Description: Prosthetic Bodies : The Construction of the Fetus and the Couple As Patients in Reproductive Technologies, Hardcover by Ploeg, Irma Van Der, ISBN 1402001169, ISBN-13 9781402001161, Brand New, Free shipping in the US While in vitro fertilization and prenatal medicine give women greater reproductive choices, paradoxically, such risky procedures put greater pressure on them for solving the problems of male infertility and congenital birth defects according to the author's feminist framing of the issues of contemporary reproductive technologies. Arguing that focusing on fetuses and couples as patients is a modern medical-technological form of the cultural pattern of viewing women as less than autonomous individuals, Ploeg (Erasmus U., Rotterdam) challenges the perspective that these procedures are apolitical and the definitive answer to women's needs.
