This monograph brings together a number of important papers dealing with the medical, societal and demographic ramifications of fertility and is a very valuable contribution to the European debate on fertility. The very low fertility levels in several EU Member States are a matter of public concern. An increase in fertility will not by itself stop demographic ageing but can contribute to decelerating current demographic trends. It is therefore essential to understand better the reasons behind Europe's low fertility rates. The difficulty of reconciling private life with a professional career far too often compel women to postpone having a family or to have fewer children than they would desire. It follows that more and more couples reach an age where fertility problems become prevalent. Involuntary infertility is a serious medical condition with strong negative consequences on the wellbeing of the couples concerned and has a negative impact on demographic trends.
This multidisciplinary book addresses the nature and meaning of relationships and identity in assisted conception families.

Mas se a ancestralidade do fenómeno biológico é mais que milenar, já a sua análise crítica e a tentativa da sua superação se revelam um acontecimento recente, impulsionado pelos avanços da ciência em geral e da medicina em particular. Hoje questionamo-nos se aquilo que sempre se desenrolou de certa forma ? a reprodução ? deve manter-se nos mesmos moldes ou se, pelo contrário, não deverá aproveitar as inúmeras possibilidades que a ciência e a técni...
