Abstract
Professor Colker argues that courts need to be aware of the biological differences between women and men in evaluating cases involving alter native reproductive technologies. By imposing an overly formalistic no tion of equality to these cases, courts have inappropriately tipped th e balance in favor of men's reproductive claims. Two cases involving t he disposition of frozen embryos following divorce-Davis v. Davis and Kass v. Kass-illuminate her argument.
