In the United States, egg donation for reproduction and egg
donation for research involve the same procedures, the same risks,
and the same population of donors-disadvantaged women at the
intersections of race and class. Yet cultural attitudes and
state-level policies regarding egg donation are dramatically
different depending on whether the donation is for reproduction or
for research. Erin Heidt-Forsythe explores the ways that framing
egg donation itself creates diverse politics in the United States,
which, unlike other Western democracies, has no centralized method
of regulating donations, relying instead on market forces and state
legislatures to regulate egg donation and reproductive
technologies. Beginning with a history of scientific research
around the human egg, the book connects historical debates about
the "natural" (reproduction) and "unnatural" (research) uses of
women's eggs to contemporary political regulation of egg donation.
Examining egg donation in California, New York, Arizona, and
Louisiana and coupled with original data on how egg donation has
been regulated over the last twenty years, this book is the first
comprehensive overview and analysis of the politics of egg donation
across the United States.
