Humanreproductioninvolvesarangeofactivitiesandevents,fromsexualintercoursethroughbirth,anddependsaswellonaseriesofphysiologicalinteractions,suchasthetimingofovulationwithinthemenstrualcycle.Thevisibleeventsarecentraltothetransmissionoflifeandhavebeensubjecttosocialandreligiouscontrol.Theinvisiblefactorsinhumanreproductiongaveriseearlyontospeculationandinmoderntimeshavebecomethetopicofscientificinvestigationandmanipulation.Newknowledgerelevanttobirthcontrolhasdiffusedatdifferentratesthroughvarioussocialgroupsandhasnotalwaysbeenavailabletothosewiththegreatestneed.Hence,theconflictsandcontroversiessurroundingbirthcontrolhavebeencomplexandimpassioned.Thedisagreementoverbirthcontrolarisesinpartfromthedebateoverwhatisnaturalandwhatisartificial(and,tosome,unacceptable).
