Quotes

[edit]
  • [About prostitution and surrogacy] Both are industries that commodify women and turn what at the foundation of human life into products. In prostitution what is sold is sex without reproduction. In surrogacy, it is reproduction without sex. In both cases, however, it is the woman who is sold and she is denied the fundamental point of the activity itself: she does not get pleasure from sex and she does not get any children from reproduction. In both cases she is totally dehumanized.
    • Entrambe sono industrie che mercificano le donne e trasformano in prodotti ciò che al fondamento della vita umana. Nella prostituzione ciò che viene venduto è il sesso senza riproduzione. Nella maternità surrogata, si tratta di riproduzione senza sesso. In entrambi i casi, però, è la donna a essere venduta e le viene negato il punto fondamentale dell'attività stessa: non prova piacere dal sesso e non ottiene alcun figlio dalla riproduzione. In entrambi i casi è totalmente disumanizzata.
