520			_a"K. provided the eggs, her lover the womb, and for nearly six years the two women raised the twin girls thus conceived. But when the women broke up, K. learned how fragile the definition of motherhood could be....In this age of conceptions that can be simultaneously multipartied and immaculate--using egg donors, sperm donors, embryo donors, surrogates, even posthumous sperm--defining parenthood has become dizzyingly complex. For gay parents, who don't have the same legal protections as heterosexuals, the issue is even more complicated. Cases like K.'s will decide their future, determining what rights, if any, they and their children will have." (NEW YORK TIMES MAGAZINE) The author relates the experiences of K., the genetic mother of twin girls who lost all legal rights to maintain contact with them after she ended her relationship with her lesbian partner.
