...some women's health advocates say that evidence isn't strong enough, calling for further study and a national, trackable registry of egg donors. While the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) logs the number of donated eggs transferred to infertile women each year - there were some 15,500 in 2006, the most recent year for which data are available - no one knows how many individual donors those eggs came from, who they were or whether they were exceeding industry guidelines of six donations in a lifetime. (The guidelines are intended to limit the number of offspring from...

The latter would lambaste the images for reducing women’s bodies to sex objects and for commercializing female sexuality to satisfy the demands of the male consumer...
...ambiguity of the verb “becoming” invites both passive and active interpretations of Beauvior’s concept. Passively construed, the phrase contends that a person is made into a woman by social forces beyond her control; coerced into compliance with norms of femininity that she has not chosen, a woman, in expressing her sexuality, is merely reifying the oppressive social constraints imposed on her. Actively construed, the phrase implies that women can consciously engage in the formation of their identities, insofar as they can choose to either comply with or resist prevailing gender practices...
