Yale sociologist Rene Almeling, author of "Sex Cells: The Medical Market for Eggs and Sperm" talks here about four important aspects of the unregulated industry in assisted human reproduction: "What defines 'motherhood'?" "Gender differences in claiming parenthood." "Legal ramifications of surrogacy and other assisted reproduction practices." "The lack of oversight of the gamete industry."
