- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Interesting but outdated. I was getting so mad when he started talking about surrogacy because everything he was saying was so wrong. I then realized this book was published in 2004. I think his description of surrogacy would still have been wrong even at that time.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A very good review of ethical questions as they relate to reproduction. McCall Smith provides few answers but many sides of many questions.
