Description

How a journey of self-discovery unearthed the scandalous evolution of artificial insemination. By his forties, Peter J. Boni was an accomplished CEO, with a specialty in navigating high-tech companies out of hot water.

Just before his fiftieth birthday, Peter's seventy-five-year-old mother unveiled a bombshell: His deceased father was not biological.

Peter was conceived in 1945 via an anonymous sperm donor.

The emotional upheaval upon learning that he was "misattributed" rekindled traumas long past and fueled his relentless research to find his genealogy.

Over two decades, he gained an encyclopedic knowledge of the scientific, legal, and sociological history of reproductive technology as well as its practices, advances, and consequences.

Through twenty-first century DNA analysis, Peter finally quenched his thirst for his origin. In Uprooted, Peter J. Boni intimately shares his personal odyssey and acquired expertise to spotlight the free market methods of gamete distribution that conceives dozens, sometimes hundreds, of unknowing half-siblings from a single donor.

This thought-provoking book reveals the inner workings-and secrets-of the multibillion-dollar fertility industry, resulting in a richly detailed account of an ethical aspect of reproductive science that, until now, has not been so thoroughly explored.
