Please join us as we discuss Interlude "Coming to Terms" of the book Conceiving Christian America: Embryo Adoption and Reproductive Politics by Risa Cromer. In this episode, we talk about the debate over semantics that occurred at the beginning of the embryo "adoption" movement, and how it continues to shape peoples perspectives today.
