Dr. Rothblatt is the author of books on satellite communications technology (Radiodetermination Satellite Services and Standards , Artech, 1987), gender freedom (Apartheid of Sex , Crown, 1995), genomics (Unzipped Genes , Temple University Press, 1997) and xenotransplantation (Your Life or Mine , Ashgate House, 2003).
