Paradisefold x Alev Scott - Author of Cash Cow, on the commodification of women's fertility

What exactly happens when a new mother discovers that her body has a market value she never knew about? That's the question at the heart of Cash Cow, a bold and brilliant new book by journalist and author Alev Scott. When Alev had an oversupply of breast milk after her first child and went looking to donate it, she stumbled onto a commercial online market she didn't know existed. What followed was a years-long investigation into something far bigger: a global industry built on the maternal body: breast milk sold across borders, eggs harvested in under-regulated clinics, and surrogates in conflict-affected regions. To celebrate International Women's Day and UK Mother's Day, in this month's Make Your Mark, we sat down with Alev for a frank and fascinating conversation about bodily autonomy, the fertility industry.
