Riassunto:

The concept of reproductive health promises to play a crucial role in improving health care provision and legal protection for women around the world. This is an authoritative and much-needed introduction to and defence of the concept of reproductive health, which though internationally endorsed, is still contested. The authors are leading authorities on reproductive medicine, women's health, human rights, medical law, and bioethics. They integrate their disciplines to provide an accessible but comprehensive picture. They analyse 15 cases from different countries and cultures, and explore options for resolution. The aim is to equip readers to fashion solutions in their own health care circumstances, compatibly with ethical, legal and human rights principles.

Recensione: ...a useful and comprehensive book for all who are involved or interested in reproductive health matters. It enables ethicists and lawyers to increase their knowledge of the more practical aspects of reproductive health, while allowing health care providers and health activists a closer look at the law which regulates their field of action. (Netherlands Quarterly of Human Rights)
