Summary: Donor insemination or DI is the oldest and most widely practiced form of assisted conception. Until now, it has been assessed largely from a medical perspective. This book brings together an international group of social scientists to discuss the social, cultural, political and practical dimensions of DI, relating it to the wider debates about fertility treatment. Contributors consider the experience of DI from the viewpoints of all the parties involved, including those treated, the donors, the clinicians, and the children of DI.
