N2  - "Based on a three-year study, this book explores infertility from Māori perspectives and provides insights into Māori concepts, views and practices in relation to fertility and infertility. Exploring a variety of fertility and infertility issues, the chapters include traditional stories of fertility, Māori fertility statistics, legal issues impacting on cultural values, traditional adoption, experiences of fertility clinics, and fertility and Māori men. The people interviewed talk about how infertility affects their lives and those of future generations, and their stories confirm the importance of whakapapa and traditional values while facing the introduction of assisted reproductive technologies."--Publisher's website
