 Some of the arguments and issues concerning payment for gametes closely resemble ones arising in other areas such as organ sales, sex work, and commercial surrogacy (see the entries on  exploitation,  feminist perspectives on reproduction and the family,  feminist perspectives on sex markets,  parenthood and procreation, and  the sale of human organs).  We deal with these briefly here before moving on to consider in greater detail some of the more distinctive issues raised by paying gamete providers. The focus here is on gametes for clinical use in human reproduction, rather than gametes for research purposes, although many of the same issues also arise in a research setting.
