Audience Question and Answer

Question 1: I'm curious as
to the count in your classes of the number of women willing to sell
their eggs. What percentage of the women are mothers?
Comment: The first two presentations were about the moral dilemma
of women who have limited skills to offer in the formal labor market
and suffer as a consequence of the only part of the labor market they
feel they have access to. Mary [Gordon's] talk about Jane Austen's
work is about a genteel society in which the labor market is essentially
completely unavailable.... This is just an observation about the tension between
the panelists; about the stresses that exist within a labor market,
and the stresses that exist where there's no labor market or at least
it's not available to the genteel folk...
Question 2: This is a comment for Leah [Platt]: I wonder if your comments
about sex workers have shifted with the emergence of HIV and AIDS,
either in the United States, Asia, Europe, or Africa?...
Especially in view of mother-to-child transmission of AIDS, it's really difficult
for me to see prostitution in our day and age as strictly a job.
Question 3: (posed by moderator) This is a question posed to
all the members of this panel: There's a franchise called MicroSort that will do sperm
sorting that allows couples to choose the gender of their child. Does
that trouble you?
