This is my first “investigative reporting” style book, and it raised some interesting questions. I learned a lot about the seamy underside of the “flesh market.” One large objection I had was Carney’s insistence in lumping adoptive children in with other “human products.” In his view, “purchasing” (i.e. paying the regular fees and costs) a child seems to be no different that purchasing a hair weave. I don’t know that one woman's updo should have the same moral repercussions as another woman's daughter.
