520    From the publisher. 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.
