    Also,

    I feel the same way about the human egg market. And let's stop calling it "donation," it's not "donation" when you're doing it for thousands of dollars.

    Our enlightened Mr. Gher managed two exploit not one but TWO Indian women, because he wanted only the best eggs that money could buy and to increase the emotional distance from his second rented body. So he had one Indian woman all hormoned up and her ovary sliced open to have the eggs taken out, mixed with his sperm, and stuck up in a second Indian woman.

    Great work, Mr. Gher. I guess you are really contributing to the "new economy."

    And what does Mr. Gher do for a living? The article tells us that he is "a communications officer for the environmental group Greenpeace."

    This is the face of Greenpeace, #1 international environmental activist group?

    The world has gone mad.
