Abstract

This paper responds to two seemingly contradictory views that anthropologist Jeanette Edwards identifies in an article on the impact of new reproductive technologies in the northwest of England. I argue that they are probably not contradictory. But I do so by modifying how the views are formulated and reflect on the significance of this for the aim of accessible anthropology at home
