Assisted Reproduction, Discrimination, and the Law
The numbers of women undergoing Assisted Reproduction Technology (ART) treatments have risen steadily, yet they remain largely outside the scope of equality and employment law protection while undergoing treatment.

Drawing from Schiek’s intersectional nodes model, the book critically exa...

This book re-evaluates the welfare of the child through the controversial topic of saviour sibling selection. Drawing on relational feminist and commun...
