Description: Since the defeat of the Nazi Third Reich and the end of its horrific eugenics policies, battles over the politics of life, sex, and death have continued and evolved. Herzog documents how reproductive rights and disability rights, both latecomers to the postwar human rights canon, came to be seen as competing--with unexpected consequences.

Review Quotes: "An inspiring book about the entanglement of sexuality, reproduction, and disability in Europe after the Second World War. . . . Well written and offers many meaningful insights in the debates about sexuality and disability in Europe. Reading it is time well spent."--H-Disability
