title: Reproductive technologies and the bottom line.
abstract: Reproductive technologies have turned out to be creatures of the marketplace, a fact we did not foresee. Because of this commercialization, women must be as careful in selecting a clinic as in buying a used car. Where initially it appeared that government would impose test-tube babies and genetic engineering on society, the great irony is that we now look to government to protect us from the Brave New World.
