Books by Inmaculada de Melo-Martin

Each year, roughly a million new cases of cancer appear in the US, and more than 500,000 Americans die annually of premature death. The price that childless women pay, for their opportunity to have children through in vitro fertilization, may be their own increased risk of diseases - such as breast cancer - that are hormone dependent.

Both proponents and critics of behavioral genetics, reproductive cloning, and genetic testing have mistaken beliefs about the role of genes in human life. This book calls attention to the social context in which both the science and our ethical precepts and public policies play a role.
