A very interesting way to think about how wealth and poverty intersect with motherhood. Is surrogacy a commodification of women’s bodies/pregnancy? Mae’s explanation that surrogacy is not explorative because people have a choice is interesting. Is it really a choice if you have no other options? Or is it actually the best choice because you have no other options? And Troys awe over the pregnant female form was interesting, can you separate pregnancy from the pregnant woman? Also interesting that surrogacy might be a way for women to women to maintain their career paths without being slowed down by a pregnancy, wound surrogacy empower woman to pursue careers, provides they can afford a surrogate? Also brings up the idea that adoption is notably not brought up in this book. Wealthy clients in the book want to have a baby that is biologically related to them and want to control every aspect of the pregnancy, adoption is never even mentioned. Brings up and interesting comparison of adoption va surrogacy and the desire to be related to your children.
