The politics of the new reproductive technologies

State concern over the implications of the uses of new reproductive technologies has prompted expressions of bourgeois liberal ideas on the management of reproduction, notably in Britain in the Warnock Report. There has been a strong 'naturalist' opposition to the use of the technologies from a wide range of peo ple, but dominated by a version of feminism which sees the technology as part of a continuing male conspiracy against women. A response to both positions is calledfor integrating an understanding of the place of medicine in the social organisation of reproduction to challenge the criteria by which people are con sidered eligible to be parents.
