Labor of Love

Gestational Surrogacy and the Work of Making Babies

Beschreibung

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.
