Another Flicker of Interest
Elle magazine this month (and when I say this month, I mean February) has a piece by the novelist Dani Shapiro (whose work I have never read) about embracing what I have always assumed was one of the most extreme kinds of reproductive assistance -- certainly it is an enormous financial commitment, but is also requires tremendous psychological fortitude -- using an egg donor and surrogate (two different people).
As far as I can tell, this piece isn't available online, but it raises a fascinating set of issues. In this moment it is so common to know people who have used every sort of reproductive assistance, it is somewhat easy to overlook how difficult the emotional wrestling behind each choice can be.
