Textbook Question
Chapter 8, Problem 20BS
The practice of buying and selling gametes, particularly eggs from fertile women, is becoming common in the United States and some other industrialized nations. Do you object to this type of transaction? Would you sell your gametes? At any price? Whether you would do so or not, should this practice be restricted?

Students have asked these similar questions
One of the advantages of sexual reproduction is that it promotes genetic diversity in the offspring. This is because gametes are produced by meiosis, which introduces genetic variation into the resulting gametes. How does meiosis accomplish this? Describe one way (there are several choices) in which meiosis produces new combinations of genes in gametes.
Describe one ethical challenge related to the moral status of gametes and embryos
In eusocial insect societies, explain why sterile workers spend their lives providing for their queen and sisters using Hamilton's rule.
