Stealing Dreams: A Fertility Clinic Scandal,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
When three whistleblowers informed authorities and the media in 1995 that doctors at the prestigious and lucrative Center for Reproductive Health a fertility clinic operated by the University of California, Irvine (UCI) were taking eggs from some women and implanting them into others without donor consent, a scandal unfolded that ended careers, destroyed reputations, and forever altered the lives of many families. This first incident of egg and embryo theft, as well as claims of insurance fraud, research misconduct, and misappropriation of funds, grabbed headlines around the world and was featured on television programs from Primetime to The Oprah Winfrey Show. By the time the scandal had subsided several years later, two of the clinic's preeminent physicians had fled the country to avoid prosecution, one doctor was convicted on criminal charges in a highly controversial trial, and UCI had paid over twenty million dollars to settle laws suits filed by former patients.The full story behind the muchpublicized case is unveiled for the first time in this riveting book. The authors untangle an intricate web of repeated coverups, scapegoats, evasions, selfinterest, nastiness, and injustice. They scrutinize how a complex interplay of circumstances set the stage for wrongdoing at the clinic, reveal how the dramatic events were played out on both the public and legal battlefields, and examine the personal histories, motivations, and actions of the major playersthe physicians, the whistleblowers, the claimants, the lawyers, the various investigatory committees, the overzealous media, and UCI administrators.Stealing Dreams provides an absorbing, evenhanded look at the evolution of the fertility clinic scandal and illuminates the complex ethical, medical, and legal issues surrounding the largely unregulated field of reproductive medicine.
