Book excerpt: As outspoken in his day as Richard Dawkins or Christopher Hitchens are today, American freethinker and author ROBERT GREEN INGERSOLL (1833-1899) was a notorious radical whose uncompromising views on religion and slavery (they were bad, in his opinion), women's suffrage (a good idea, he believed), and other contentious matters of his era made him a wildly popular orator and critic of 19th-century American culture and public life. As a speaker dedicated to expanding intellectual horizons and celebrating the value of skepticism, Ingersoll spoke frequently on such topics as atheism, freedom from the pressures of conformity, and the lives of philosophers who espoused such concepts. This collection of his most famous speeches includes the lectures: [ "The Gods" (1872) [ "Humboldt" (1869) [ "Thomas Paine" (1870) [ "Individuality" (1873) [ "Heretics and Heresies" (1874)

Download or read book Conceiving People written by Daniel Groll and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2021-08-24 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is an open access title available under the terms of a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 International license. It is free to read at Oxford Scholarship Online and offered as a free PDF download from OUP and selected open access locations. Each year, tens of thousands of children are conceived with donated gametes (sperm or eggs). By some estimates, there are over one million donor-conceived people in the United States and, of course, many more the world over. Some know they are donor-conceived. Some do not. Some know the identity of their donors. Others never will. Questions about what donor-conceived people should know about their genetic progenitors are hugely significant for literally millions of people, including donor-conceived people, their parents, and donors. But the practice of gamete donation also provides a vivid occasion for thinking about questions that matter to everyone. What is the value of knowing who your genetic progenitors are? How are our identities bound up with knowing where we come from? What obligations do parents have to their children? And what makes someone a parent in the first place? In Conceiving People: Identity, Genetics and Gamete Donation, Daniel Groll argues that people who plan to create a child with donated gametes should choose a donor whose identity will be made available to the resulting child. This is not, Groll argues, because having genetic knowledge is fundamentally important. Rather, it is because donor-conceived people are likely to develop a significant interest in having genetic knowledge and parents must help satisfy their children's significant interests. In other words, because a donor-conceived person is likely to care about having genetic knowledge, their parents should care too.

Explains in detail how recipients can protect their privacy. It explains in detail with many photographs, drawings, and other images how to time insemination by predicating ovulation with the OPK (ovulation prediction kit, with detailed explanation of various types of test and how to read them), by charting basal temperatures, by evaluating changes in cervical mucus, by evaluating changes in the position of the cervix, and by being aware of mittelschmerz (ovulation pains). It explains what to do when the unexpected, such as two ovulations in one cycle, happens. The book then summarizes key dates in the woman's reproductive cycle. It explains in detail with many photographs, drawings, and other images the contents of the shipping kit and how the private donor can collect semen, prepare it for shipping, and ship it.

Praise for the ebook version from Amazon 5-star reviews: - This book was very informative as a woman this book taught me things about TTC. It also addresses things that a recipient may not think about because her mind is only focused on the BFP. It is a quick read but a must read. I would recommend this book to any woman, especially lesbian women ttc and any woman who is tired of paying the high price of the use of a cryobank. - For couples with male fertility problems, or women who don't have a male partner, in the past their only option to conceive a baby was a fertility clinic. But fertility clinics are expensive and often not covered by insurance. This book covers a viable, inexpensive alternative: private donors who are willing to share their sperm for free. This book discusses the various issues around using a private donor, and then gets very practical - it describes where to find a donor, what to ask them, how to know when to perform an insemination, and how to go about doing it. This guide covers the steps involved in using a donor who is located elsewhere and who ships chilled semen using an overnight delivery service. Everything you need to know in a simple, practical manner. Note that another alternative is to find a donor who is located nearby and who can give you a fresh sample, and eliminate the shipping step. If you can find a local donor, that is an even better solution as the sample will be fresher and you eliminate the costs and restrictions of shipping. Most of the information in this guide will still apply. - Good book! Very easy to read: )

Book Synopsis True Stories of Pregnancy by PI, Or Partial Intercourse, with Free Sperm Donors by : Joe Donor
Download or read book True Stories of Pregnancy by PI, Or Partial Intercourse, with Free Sperm Donors written by Joe Donor and published by . This book was released on 2014-03-03 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: PI (pronounced "pee-eye") can stand for partial natural insemination, partial intercourse, or partial insertion. It is a technique used in free, private sperm donations that involves donor insemination via limited, or "partial", intercourse. This minimizes physical contact and intimacy that some recipients may find objectionable during conventional natural insemination (NI), but still allows recipients to benefit from the higher success rates that natural donation (that is to say, sexual intercourse) enjoys over artificial insemination (AI). Although there is some variation between how individual recipients and donors will do PI, recipients frequently ask for no kissing, no oral sex, and no exposure of or fondling of their breasts. In the strictest definition of PI, the donor tries to get himself as close to ejaculation as possible by masturbation, so that he ejaculates as soon as he inserts his penis into the recipient. This book also compiles a history of the use of the term PI in law, medicine, the life sciences, science fiction, and modern, online free donor groups. It also relates real-life stories of pregnancies resulting from PI as told in the words of the donors themselves in interviews with 10 different free sperm donors. We hope this book educates single mothers by choice, and couples who want to conceive but suffer from male-factor infertility, but who lack funds for overly expensive conventional sperm bank procedures, on additional options they may not have considered previously, and will help them to understand the expectations that arise on either side when recipients and donors decide to do PI.Warning! Although this book is intended to be educational, and is by no means "breeding erotica", some readers may find this book sexually explicit.

Book excerpt: Violet and Mommy discuss the way Violet was created using the help of a sperm donor, through the metaphor of mixing paints like red and blue to make purple.

Book Synopsis Scattered Seeds by : Jacqueline Mroz
Download or read book Scattered Seeds written by Jacqueline Mroz and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As typical as donor-conceived children have become, with at least a million such children in the US alone, their experiences are still unusual in many ways. In Scattered Seeds, journalist and writer Jacqueline Mroz looks at the growth of sperm donation and assisted reproduction and how it affects the children who are born, the women who buy and use the sperm to have kids, and the sperm donors who donate their genetic material to help others procreate. With empathy and in-depth analysis, Scattered Seeds explores the sociology, psychology, and anthropology surrounding those connected with fertility procedures today and looks back at the history that brought us to this point. The personal stories in this book will put a human face on the issues and help to illuminate this country's controversial and troubling unregulated fertility industry-an industry that has been compared to the Wild, Wild West, where anything goes. What is the human cost of our country's unregulated fertility industry' How are the lives of sperm-donor families changed' Scattered Seeds will answer those questions, considering carefully the social and psychological dynamics surrounding those connected with fertility procedures today.
Download or read book Random Families written by Rosanna Hertz and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2018-11-16 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The ready availability of donated sperm and eggs has made possible an entirely new form of family. Children of the same donor and their families, with the help of the internet, can now locate each other and make contact. Sometimes this network of families form meaningful connections that blossom into longstanding groups, and close friendships. This book is about unprecedented families that have grown up at the intersection of new reproductive technologies, social media and the human desire for belonging. Random Families asks: Do shared genes make you a family? What do couples do when they discover that their children shares half their DNA with a dozen or more other offspring from the same sperm donor? What do kids find in common with their donor siblings? What becomes of these chance networks once parents and donor siblings find one another? Based on over 350 interviews with children (ages 10-28) and their parents from all over the U.S., Random Families chronicles the chain of choices that couples and single mothers make from what donor to use to how to participate (or not) in donor sibling networks. Children reveal their understanding of a donor, the donor's spot on the family tree and the meaning of their donor siblings. Through rich first-person accounts of network membership, the book illustrates how these extraordinary relationships -- woven from bits of online information and shared genetic ties -- are transformed into new possibilities for kinship. Random Families offers down-to-earth stories from real families to highlight just how truly distinctive these contemporary new forms of family are." -- Publisher's description

Book Synopsis Romancing the Sperm by : Diane Tober
Download or read book Romancing the Sperm written by Diane Tober and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2018-11-30 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 1990s marked a new era in family formation. Increased access to donor sperm enabled single women and lesbian couples to create their families on their own terms, outside the bounds of heterosexual married relationships. However, emerging “alternative” families were not without social and political controversy. Women who chose to have children without male partners faced many challenges in their quest to have children. Despite current wider social acceptance of single people and same sex couples becoming parents, many of these challenges continue. In Romancing the Sperm, Diane Tober explores the intersections between sperm donation and the broader social and political environment in which “modern families” are created and regulated. Through tangible and intimate stories, this book provides a captivating read for anyone interested in family and kinship, genetics and eugenics, and how ever-expanding assisted reproductive technologies continue to redefine what it means to be human.
