Reviews / Votes
"...is helpful for anyone approaching donor insemination for the first time or when setting up a donor insemination service. It is readable and can serve as a source of information for nurses, residents, lay readers, practitioners and anyone interested in the topic.... a significant contribution and needed resource for teaching and assessing the state of donor insemination today." PonJola Coney, Fertility & Sterility "...[the book's] strengths are in the compassionate, humanitarian presentation of its material, and the thoughtfulness with which the authors address the ethical and legal aspects of donor insemination...Nurse-midwives working primarily with donor-inseminated couples may wish to review this book for its thorough, highly scientific treatment of donor insemination..."
