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. In The
Baby Business, Debora Spar argues that it is time to acknowledge the commercial truth
about reproduction and to establish a standard that governs its transactions. In this
fascinating behind-the-scenes account, she combines pioneering research and interviews
with the industry's top reproductive scientists and trailblazers to provide a first
glimpse at how the industry works: who the baby makers are, who makes money, how prices
are set, and what defines the clientele. Fascinating stories illustrate the inner workings
of market segments--including stem cell research, surrogacy, egg swapping, "designer
babies," adoption, and human cloning--as Spar explores the moral and legal challenges
that industry players must address. The first purely commercial look at an industry that
deals in humanity's most intimate issues, this book challenges us to consider the
financial promise and ethical perils we'll face as the baby business moves inevitably
forward.
