Description - Pandora's Clock: Understanding Our Fertility - The Choices We Face Over Contraception, Pregnancy, Genetic Screening, Abortion and Infertility by Maureen Freely
This book sets out to provide a better framework for considering the issue of whether to have children. In addition to providing the basic facts, it calls into question current attitudes and figures of speech that cloud rather than clarify the subject. Is there such a thing as a fertility rate? Is the biological clock a useful or misleading metaphor? How often are decisions to have children joint and above board? Who has the final say and who takes the blame? How do people who have no children or too many manage their regrets? The authors have talked to men and women across a broad spectrum of class, race, religion and age, in their search to understand how people really plan their children. Their aim is to break down the taboos and promote a respectful understanding of fertility, its fallibility and its finiteness.
