cjgl-2363	Karpin, Isabel	Legislating the Female Body: Reproductive Technology and the Reconstructed Woman	1992	26	.pdf	application/pdf	11197	511	56	In this construction, the female subject is disempowered through a patriarchal reconstructive imperative that designates the female body as environment for the fetus, and in so doing identifies toxic dangers, atmospheric collapse, and world (female body) destruction as the greatest threats to the fetus. But to state, as the newspaper article clearly does, that the embryos will be implanted in surrogates, removing even the need to identify these women as women, or: even as female bodies, rhetorically eliminates the woman from the discussion.	cache/cjgl-2363.pdf	txt/cjgl-2363.txt
