{"product_id":"2940149394722","title":"Not My Daughter - A true story of a former drug trafficker and a landmark surrogacy case","description":"How To Make a “Parentless” Child:\u003cbr\u003e1. Take an egg from one woman.\u003cbr\u003e2. Add a sperm cell from one man. \u003cbr\u003e3. Combine the two reproductive cells in a test tube.\u003cbr\u003e4. Insert the zygote into the uterus of a second woman to gestate.\u003cbr\u003e5. Wait nine months then hand over the resultant infant to a third woman (my then-wife), who had contracted the gestational surrogate, despite the fact that a second man (me) was in the process of divorcing her.  Add to the equation the second man’s past as an international drug-smuggler and convicted trafficker together with the reality that he did not want to become a parent.\u003cbr\u003eNow, who is the mother of the child? And who is the father?\u003cbr\u003e  In the subsequent landmark case involving surrogacy rights, after a California Superior Court Judge ruled that this little girl had no legal parents, an appellate court declared that my ex-wife was the girl’s legal mother and I was the father.  For eighteen years I made all of my court-ordered child support payments for a child I have never met.  My legal obligation is now complete, as of June 2013, and this is my story of why I have not recognized the young life, created by science and technology and driven by maternal and monetary demand, as my daughter.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"John Buzzanca","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47101085352176,"sku":"2940149394722","price":6.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940149394722_p0.jpg?v=1763716234","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940149394722","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
