Extract

Like all her work, Jody Madeira’s “Conceiving of Products and the Products of Conception: Reflections on Commodification, Consumption, ART, and Abortion,” is a rich, nuanced discussion that mixes various conceptual vocabularies (Marxist, semiotics, legal) into a complex dish. If her work is like the best of French cooking, my comment, I fear, will be more like fast food. In the short space I have, I want to pick off a few items of common interest and discussion and reconfigure them.
