"At last! Real people’s lives are touched by intersexuality in ways that cannot be understood in narrow terms of genes, hormones, and surgical techniques. Here is the volume that clinicians, teachers, counselors, parents, feminists, and philosophers have needed in order to understand intersexuality."

—Cheryl Chase, founder, Intersex Society of North America (ISNA)

"The range of ethical issues that arise in regard to the treatment of intersex infants, children, and adults is richly representative of clinical healthcare ethics generally. By incorporating the perspective of patients and their stories in its account, however, Intersex in the Age of Ethics does more than introduce the question of healthcare ethics in microcosm. It also leads the reader to examine the effect of ethical reflection on the lives of patients.

"Unlike many collections of essays, this one hangs together very well both for reading and for teaching. Intersex in the Age of Ethics is a model, in both senses of the word, of what thoughtful healthcare ethics reflection can accomplish. It embodies a conceptual model of ethical reflection that leads the reader to pose the right questions and to respond to them with patients’ lives in mind. And it is a model in the evaluative sense—excellent, admirable, and deserving of imitation."
