They outline a range of harms that follow--to the women who are so-called surrogates, to the children born of surrogacy arrangements, to the 'intending parents' who are delivered of a child through forced separation from its mother. Catherine Lynch rails against surrogacy as the creation of babies for the express purpose of removal from their mothers, outlining the tragic outcomes for adopted people. Phyllis Chesler argues that commercial surrogacy is matricidal, \"slicing and dicing biological motherhood\" into egg donor, 'gestational' mother, and adoptive mother. Laura Nu Gez describes the surrogacy paradigm as an ethics-free zone, in which \"buying whatever is for sale is possible as long as there is an agreement and that it is legal.\" And Melissa Farley debunks the myth of 'choice' in surrogacy. Rich women do not make the choice to become surrogates or prostitutes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Marie-Jos鑵he Devillers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1925950425\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781925950427\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Spinifex Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/23\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.27lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.10w x 1.20d","brand":"Marie-Jos鑵he Devillers","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43988660093183,"sku":"9781925950427","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b0827ed2-eca1-42d3-bbc3-028ac4466fd1.jpg?v=1683295666","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/towards-the-abolition-of-surrogate-marie-josphe-devillers-9781925950427","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
