Full Surrogacy Now by Sophie Anne Lewis

4.0

An exploration of the commercial gestation market (surrogates) and envisioning a future where babies are not ‘owned’ but parented. I particularly appreciated the commentary on parallels between radical feminist movements which exclude sex workers, trans and nonbinary people, and those which call for the abolition of surrogacy. The technologies of surrogacy may have changed, but surrogacy itself, and the queering of reproduction, is not new. How can we refashion society to challenge genetic-based notions of kinship, recognise reproductive work as work, and ensure gestation workers are protected, cared for, and looked after in a wider social network that provides alternatives to work? 3.5/5
