Interaction Among Panelists
  Professor Michael Sandel notes that running through the three presentations was a question as to "whether the market is a force for the autonomy of women or for the degradation of women.... This question was posed with the case of commercial pregnancy, with the case of prostitution, and also with the case of the genteel marriage market. In what ways [is the market] liberating, and in what ways is it degrading as it operates with respect to women in these three settings?"
