Synopsis

In vitro fertilization (IVF)—the conceiving of new human beings in a laboratory—has become a widespread and international industry affecting millions upon millions of people. By some estimates, over eight million children in the US have been born as a result of this technology since 1978. But is it ethical to create human beings by science and not by sex? Is IVF inherently good or inherently evil? Or, perhaps, is it something that is sometimes right and other times wrong, depending on the circumstances? In this timely volume in Word on Fire’s Dignity Series, Stephanie Gray Connors engages both the mind and the heart in answering these increasingly urgent questions. Looking at the morality of IVF and the stories of people who have either embraced or refused it, On IVF will draw readers into the profound suffering of infertility and miscarriage, the difficulties and dangers of IVF, and the hope-filled alternatives that honor the dignity of human beings—both born and preborn.

    What happens when life throws together a busy, enthusiastic, doctor-daughter and her bereaved, disenchanted, dependent father? What happens when science meets stubbornness and a parent needs parenting? 
    Following her mother’s death, Dr Helena Popovic puts her medical training and beliefs to the test when she becomes the carer for her elderly father, who has encroaching dementia. 
    A passionate medical practitioner and international speaker, Helena finds herself living out everything she preached. 
    This moving story is part personal diary, part scientific treatise and part practical guide, woven together with humorous anecdotes. Above all, it’s an inspiring account of a daughter in search of her father: the man beyond the grief, despair, depression and dementia. 
    This timeless book deals with a complex issue many of us will need to face: how best to care for elderly parents or loved ones who can no longer care for themselves. What do those in our care most need from us? 
    Are there steps we can take to defy dementia and build a better brain? Are we able to sharpen our intellect, tap into brain potential we never knew we had, and prevent the cognitive decline most of us believe is inevitable with ageing? 
    The answer is an unequivocal YES! 
    Facts inform but stories transform. The facts in this book will change your thinking – the story in this book will change your life. 
    ‘Who would have thought that dementia could be such an adventure—that adventure, in fact, prevents dementia!’ Dr Sarah Woodbury FRANZCOG
