That children should be conceived naturally, born to and raised by their two young, heterosexual, married to each other, genetic parents; that this relationship between parents is also the ideal relationship between romantic or sexual partners; and that romance and sexual intimacy ought to be at the core of our closest personal relationships - all these elements converge towards the ideal of the nuclear family. The authors consider a range of relationship and family structures that depart from this ideal: polyamory and polygamy, single and polyparenting, parenting by gay and lesbian couples, as well as families created through current and prospective modes of assisted human reproduction such as surrogate motherhood, donor insemination, and reproductive cloning."--Bloomsbury Publishing. 410 0$aScience Ethics & Society. 606 $aFamilies 615 0$aFamilies. 702 $aCutas$b Daniela 702 $aChan$b Sarah 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 801 2$bUkLoBP 912 $a996209974803316 996 $aFamilies-- beyond the nuclear ideal$92418913 997 $aUNISA
