內容簡介
內容簡介 「引人入勝、令人難以置信且深感不安」—— 莫琳·弗里利（Maureen Freely） 「充滿人性、發人深省且刻不容緩 —— 這本書會讓你思考、讓你大笑、讓你流淚，同時也會讓你憤怒得燃燒」—— 瑪莉·韋爾斯利（Dr Mary Wellesley）博士對全球生育產業與母體商品化的發人深省之深掘。 代孕應該是一項付費服務、一種利他行為，還是根本不應該合法？ 您可以為「VIP」捐卵者支付更多費用，並查看她們的照片，這是否正確？ 母乳應該價值多少（如果有的話），而誰又該被允許購買它？全球生育產業正迅速成長，利潤極高且道德層面極其複雜。在這個產業中，一個人的生理不幸可能是另一個人的經濟獲利。從凍卵到母乳黑市，母體從未如此商品化，然而其背後的倫理、情感與經濟影響卻鮮少被考量。透過臥底報導與詳盡的第一手記述 —— 包括一位代孕過 12 個孩子的代理孕母、一名國際胚胎快遞員，以及一位為了治療腸躁症而購買母乳的男性 —— 阿列夫·斯科特（Alev Scott）揭露了全球試管嬰兒（IVF）、代孕與母乳產業的運作模式，以及誰在從中獲利。在此過程中，她探討了剝削與賦權之間模糊的界線。誰應該從母體獲利：是女性自己、任何人，還是誰都不該？《Cash Cow》及時、發人深省且引人入勝，是一部不容錯過的調查報告，探討了渴望、絕望與商業如何交織，以及生育產業對個人所產生的影響。'Captivating, mind-boggling and deeply disturbing' – Maureen Freely'Humane, thoughtful and urgent ― this book will make you think, make you laugh, make you cry, but also make you burn with rage' – Dr Mary WellesleyA thought-provoking deep dive into the global fertility industry and the commodification of the maternal bodyShould surrogacy be a paid service, an altruistic act – or even legal at all?Is it right that you can pay more for ‘VIP’ egg donors – and to view their photos?How much, if anything, should breastmilk cost – and who should be allowed to buy it?The global fertility industry is rapidly growing, hugely profitable and morally complex. This an industry where one person’s biological bad luck can be another person’s financial gain. From egg freezing to black-market breastmilk, the maternal body has never been more commodified, yet the ethical, emotional and economic implications are rarely considered.Through a combination of undercover reporting and detailed first-hand accounts – including a surrogate of 12 children, an international embryo courier and a man who buys breastmilk for his IBS – Alev Scott exposes how the IVF, surrogacy and milk industries operate around the world and who is profiting. In doing so, she considers the blurred line between exploitation and empowerment. Who should make money from the maternal body: only the women themselves, anyone or no one?Timely, thought-provoking and compelling, Cash Cow is an unmissable investigation into how desire, desperation and commerce intersect, and the impact the fertility industry has on individuals.‘A powerful, intimate and disturbing exploration of the hidden markets built on women’s bodies' Professor Peter Frankopan'An absolute must read for anyone considering surrogacy; a compelling and thought-provoking book for everyone else' Jack Farchy, co-author of The World for Sale
