Emma Crichton-Miller reviews Everything Conceivable: How Assisted Reproduction Is Changing Men, Women, and the World by Liza Mundy. In the epilogue of this thought-provoking book, Liza Mundy writes of a friend seeing, on holiday on a New Jersey beach, a plane flying overhead. Stretched out behind trailed a banner reading: ‘WOMEN EARN $8000 AGE 20-30 888-968 EGGS’. With the same brash commercial energy that powers so much of the United States economy, breeding possibility from desire, the plane was soliciting human eggs. (Telegraph)
