Embryo culture: Making babies in the twenty-first century.
By B. Kohl. New York, NY: Farrar, Strauss and Giroux, c2007.
This personal memoir of a woman’s struggle to conceive discusses religious and ethical concerns, along with many details of the scientific processes she encountered. Although not a guide to “what went wrong and how to fix it,” the reader can find many useful medical information scattered throughout. This book reads almost like a novel, with lots of dialogue and some humor. It may be comforting to infertile women who are burned-out on reading the latest step-by-step “how to get pregnant” book.
