Jarenlang leefde Petra De Sutter als vrouw in een mannenlichaam, tot ze op haar veertigste besloot zich te bevrijden en de transitie te maken. In dit openhartige boek kijkt de befaamde gynaecologe terug op de bepalende momenten in haar leven. Ze graaft diep in haar ziel: hoe heeft ze het gevecht met zichzelf overleefd? Waar heeft ze de veerkracht gevonden om uiteindelijk de gelukkige vrouw, partner, ouder, professional en politica te worden die ze nu is? De Sutter blikt ook vooruit: wat zijn de uitdagingen waar ze als topwetenschapper en vruchtbaarheidsspecialiste voor staat? Zijn er in de eenentwintigste eeuw grenzen aan de maakbaarheid van de mens? Moet de politiek daarop ngrijpen? En wat zijn de maatschappelijke thema's waar zij zich als Groen-politica hard voor maakt? PROFESSOR PETRA DE SUTTER (1963) is arts-gynaecoloog en hoofd van de Afdeling voor Reproductieve Geneeskunde aan het UZ Gent. Daarnaast is ze senator voor Groen en lid van de Raad van Europa. Samen met journaliste Elke Lahousse (Knack Weekend) tekende ze haar verhaal op.

Petra De Sutter (1963) is arts-gynaecoloog en hoogleraar aan de Universiteit Gent en zetelt voor Groen in het Europees Parlement. Meyrem Almaci (1976) is voorzitter van Groen.

Multiple pregnancies are the most frequent and serious complication of assisted reproduction. Both high-order multiple and twin pregnancies entail a number of medical and economic outcomes that affect the children, the mother, the parents, the families, and society as a whole.

Single Embryo Transfer reviews the advantages and limitations of this approach to assisted reproduction. The crucial issue of selecting the best embryo will be reviewed in detail. All clinical issues involved in setting up and running an SET programme will be covered, including important topics such as cryopreservation of embryos, embryo donation, and patient counselling. The final chapters on future SET trends in Europe and North America are written by leading figures in the IVF world. The book is of interest to physicians, embryologists, nurses, insurers, politicians, ethicists and patients.

This second edition of International Public Health Policy and Ethics complements the popular first edition with contemporary problems in international public health. It brings together philosophers and practitioners to address the foundations and principles upon which public health policy may be advanced – especially in the international arena. What is the basis that justifies public health in the first place? Why should individuals be disadvantaged for the sake of the group? How do policy concerns and clinical practice work together and work against each other? Can the boundaries of public health be extended to include social ills that are amenable to group-dynamic solutions? What about political issues? How can international finance make an impact? These are some of the crucial questions that form the core of this volume of original essays sure to cause practitioners to engage in a critical re-evaluation of the role of ethics in public health policy. With a targeted new essay dealing with COVID and public health issues in Africa this second edition provides a resource building on the first edition.
