In The Baby Business, Debora Spar argues that it is time to acknowledge the commercial truth about reproduction and to begin thinking about ways of governing it. In this remarkable 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. Taking readers on a journey inside controversial market-segments such as stem cell research surrogacy, egg swapping, "designer babies," cross-border adoption, and human cloning, the book challenges us to examine how we can balance science, law, and commerce in our quest to satisfy one of humanity's most basic desires.
