A 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 extremely morally complex. From egg freezing to black-market breastmilk, the maternal body has never been more commodified, yet we have never stopped to fully consider the ethical, emotional and economic implications.Through a combination of undercover journalism and compelling personal interviews - 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. 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.

How the Maternal Body Became a Global Commodity – and the Hidden Costs for Women

Advances in Anatomy, Embryology and Cell Biology

This book reviews the role of exosomes in both male and female reproduction organs, focusing on the impact of extracellular vesicles on gamete maturation and embryo development.
Fertilization is a complex process involving the fusion of two functionally matured gametes. Maturation of spermatozoa and/ or oocyte dependents on sophisticated, but highly regulated events during gamete transit in the reproductive tracts. Sperm maturation occurs within the epididymis, of which segmented regions provide a distinct microenvironment to facilitate stage-wise maturation processes. Although oocyte maturation occurs within the ovary, communication between oocyte and its surrounding granulosa/cumulus cells is vital for the development and the resumption of meiotically arrested oocytes. Once the oocyte is released from the ovary, the oviductal epithelium continues to facilitate sperm-oocyte interaction to achieve fertilization. Increasing evidence suggests that the uterus, the site for embryo development, also carries out epithelia- embryo communication via uterosomes throughout the pregnancy. All above-mentioned processes rely on orchestrated communications between reproductive tract epithelia and gametes.
In this book, we aim to summarize the origin of secretory vesicles from the reproductive tract and their functions for gamete and embryo development. It is written for researchers, physicians and medical students working in the field of reproductive science or with an interest in extracellular vesicles research.

Extracellular Vesicles in Reproduction

Through a series of discussions with practitioners in fields beyond the Humanities, this book explores how key creative writing techniques inspire and inform other disciplines. In turn, this new multidisciplinary view of the mechanics of storytelling sparks new ways of approaching the writing, reading and teaching of fiction in and beyond the writing workshop. A personal voyage of discovery, the book revolves around conversationswith specialists in archaeology, genetics, architecture, medicine, law and botanical science to consider how specific techniques - narrative time, characterisation, fictionalstructures, plotting, point of view and place - inform their work. Through a series of reflections, short fictions, practical exercises and prompts, these case studies then suggest new insights and methods for investigating key writing techniques, which in turn advocate for closer interactions between STEM, the humanities and arts practice. With creative arts subjects increasingly under pressure to justify their significance in contemporary work and life, Jacqueline Yallop makes a case for the re-evaluation of the importance of narrative writing craft in the world beyond personal practiceand student assignment.

Pregnancy and the Novel is a study of covert representations of pregnancy and birth in canonical eighteenth- and nineteenth-century novels. The research draws on medical texts to illuminate the ways that novelists simultaneously hide and reveal problematic pregnancies and births. Grounded in narrative theory and historicism, it reveals a reciprocal influence between literature and science through the novels of Samuel Richardson, the Brontës, George Eliot, Dickens and Hardy. This project is an act of literary detective work that will uncover what can easily be missed by twenty-first century readers, bringing it into light by reconstructing historical knowledge of reproductive medicine.This is an open access book.
