Eve

Eve … looks with hope and trepidation to a future of externalised, artificial uteruses. Where do abortion, surrogacy and parenthood fit in a brave new ‘ectogenetic’ world? * New Scientist, Books to Expand Your Mind *In her thoughtful debut, Eve, legal scholar Claire Horn examines the boundaries of motherhood through an unusual lens: artificial wombs … a skilled writer with a careful grasp of her subject and its fascinating history - handled with poignancy because she was pregnant while writing the book – Angela Saini * Telegraph *An engrossing insight into the future of birth through the lenses of the most pressing women’s health issues of our era … a sobering reminder that wherever technology promises to improve women’s lives, there also exists a threat that someone, somewhere, will attempt to co-opt it to control their bodies instead. * New Statesman *
