In this article the author focuses on the desperate and passionate conflicts about reproduction among the U.S. public. Some of these conflicts have arisen from new reproductive arrangements or technologies, such as surrogate motherhood or in vitro fertilization. And other medical technologies can produce yet more conflicts. In one case, physicians pressured a young unmarried couple to relinquish custody of their ailing infant to its grandparents as the condition for performing a heart transplant. Despite these new twists, conflicts about reproduction have a long history. They arise whenever old customs are not adequate to regulate changing behavior.
