Unimaginable until the twentieth century, the clinical practice of transferring eggs and sperm from body to body is now the basis of a bustling market. In Sex Cells, Rene Almeling provides an inside look at how egg agencies and sperm banks do business. Although both men and women are usually drawn to donation for financial reasons, Almeling finds that clinics encourage sperm donors to think of the payments as remuneration for an easy "job." Women receive more money but are urged to regard egg donation in feminine terms, as the ultimate "gift" from one woman to another. Sex Cells shows how the gendered framing of paid donation, as either a job or a gift, not only influences the structure of the market, but also profoundly affects the individuals whose genetic material is being purchased. 650 0 Artificial insemination, Human|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh85008176|xEconomic aspects.|0https: //id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh99005484 650 0 Artificial insemination, Human|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh85008176|xMoral and ethical aspects.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh00006099 650 0 Infertility|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85066087|xTreatment|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh99005040|xEconomic aspects.|0https://id.loc.gov /authorities/subjects/sh99005484 650 0 Surrogate motherhood|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh88004707|xEconomic aspects.|0https://id.loc.gov /authorities/subjects/sh99005484 650 7 Artificial insemination, Human.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/817235 650 7 Artificial insemination, Human|xMoral and ethical aspects. |2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/817240 650 7 Infertility|xTreatment.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/972390 650 7 Infertility.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/972366 650 7 Surrogate motherhood|xEconomic aspects.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1139552 650 7 Surrogate motherhood.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1139551 650 7 Artificial insemination.|2homoit|0https://homosaurus.org/ v3/homoit0002617 650 7 Insemination.|2homoit|0https://homosaurus.org/v3/ homoit0000069 901 MARCIVE 20231220 935 571230 948 |d20121130|cMH|tcheck 650x2delete|lridm|v1 994 C0|bRID
