Surrogates’ views emerge from the stories, debates, and discussions that unfold online. The Online World of Surrogacy documents these collective meaning-making practices and explores their practical, emotional, and moral implications. In doing so, the book works through themes of interest across the social sciences, including definitions of parenthood, the symbolic role of money, reproductive loss, altruism, and the moral valuation of relationships.Fertility, reproduction, and sexuality.Surrogate mothersCase studiesInternetSocial aspectsHuman reproductive technologySocial aspectsSurrogate mothersInternetSocial aspects.Human reproductive technologySocial aspects.302.23/1Berend Zsuzsa1542006MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910798882803321The online world of surrogacy3794425UNINA
