In 1985, Mary Beth Whitehead signed a contract agreeing to act as a surrogate mother for William and Elizabeth Stern for a payment of $10,000. After giving birth to the child, known in the case as "Baby M", she decided to break her contract and keep the baby. Her decision led to a court battle that made headlines everywhere. The author explores the impact of this case on our society's legal, psychological and ethical condition. This book uses this case to explore such questions as: what makes a mother - or father - fit, and who decides? Should surrogacy be abolished? Who can determine a child's "best interests"? Will pregnancy and childbirth become a blue-collar "occupation"? Phyllis Chesler also wrote "Women and Madness", "About Men", "With Child" and "Mothers on Trial: The Battle for Children and Custody".

Descrizione libro Soft cover. Condizione: Very Good. 1st Uk Paperback Edition. In 1985, Mary Beth Whitehead signed a contract agreeing to give birth to a baby for William and Elizabeth Stern in return for a payment of $10,000. After 'Baby M' was born, Mary Beth changed her mind. She wanted to keep the baby. Her decsision led to a court battle which made headlines across the world. Phyllis Chesler analyses the impact of the legal, psychological and ethical problems this landmark case threw into such sharp relief. What makes a mother - or father - a fit parent, and who decides? Does the standard surrogate-mother contract constitute baby-selling? Should it be abolished? Who can determine a child's best interests? Is the blood-tie significant for a child and a parent? Does surrogacy exploit women? With the striking lucidity which has become her trademark, Phyllis Chesler tackles the issues raised by the Baby M case, issues at the forefront of contemporary ethical debate. Codice articolo 009156
