Book Overview

Despite legislation that claims to prohibit it, there is a thriving market for babies spreading across the globe. Fueled by rapid advances in reproductive medicine and the desperate desires of millions of would be parents, the acquisition of children whether through donated eggs, rented wombs, or cross-border adoption has become a multibillion dollar industry that has left science, law, ethics, and commerce deeply at odds.
