- Description
- Around the world couples and singles procure babies through surrogacy arrangements. Many people see surrogacy as driven by compassion for those who desire a baby. In this book the dominant narrative around surrogacy and egg donation is challenged by bringing together stories of women (and one man as partner of) from the United States of America, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, India, Romania, Hungary, Georgia and Russia, that are so-called surrogate mothers or egg donors. The editors discuss the violation of human rights of the faceless and nameless women whose bodies are used, the rights of children who are traded as commodities, the surrogacy industry, legislation and the global movement of Stop Surragacy Now.
