  Presents an ethnographic study of the procreative practices of anonymous ova and embryo donation. This book shows how one dimension of the reproductive technologies involves an unfamiliar relatedness between nameless and untraceable procreative strangers. It also aims to challenge some of the assumptions underlying biomedical discourse.
