Does that reduce the power of the mother and her claim to the child? (“I only gave the egg. I am not the real mother.” “I only loaned my uterus. I am not the real mother.” “I only raised the child. I am not the real mother.”) • The advantages that egg farming offers women within a patriarchal context must be seen in light of our losses. Through egg farming, women can be divided into two groups: egg donors and embryo recipients. In an entire society, all women could be engaged in reproduction, either as egg layers or egg hatchers. Both egg layers and egg hatchers would be controlled in terms of food, travel, work, and stress to ensure optimal conditions for the embryo. Women as egg layers are already in demand. I. D. Cooke announces the need for female ovum donors in the next decade. Women as egg layers and egg hatchers would be seen by patriarchy as the means to a vital commodity—eggs. -- part contents for background part 26 ----- text ----- • WHOLE EARTH • HEALTH • FERTILITY • Fertility -- part contents for background part 27 ----- text ----- 04037138 -- part contents for background part 40 ----- text ----- card id 13205 -- part contents for background part 41 ----- text ----- card id 12960 -- part contents for background part 42 ----- text ----- stack "WHOLE EARTH" stack "HEALTH" card id 50125 card id 83324 -- part contents for background part 37 ----- text ----- card id 83324 -- part contents for background part 38 ----- text ----- card id 11657 -- part contents for background part 39 ----- text ----- card id 10375
