Labor of Love

Gestational Surrogacy and the Work of Making Babies

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The first ethnographic study of gestational surrogacy in the US, Labor of Love examines the conflicted attitudes that emerge when the ostensibly priceless act of bringing a child into the world becomes a paid occupation. Heather Jacobson interviews surrogate mothers, their family members, the intended parents, and the various professionals who work to facilitate the process.
