            <text>One of the topics my work explores is the tensions that exist within societies&#13;
and with the religions in those societies that pressure women into bearing children, and the insensitivities that arise from this pressure. I particularly explore the medical side effects of hormone treatments, issues of biological clocks ticking and limited egg reserves. Of particular interest to me are the ethical and moral issues that accompany sperm and egg donors: especially issues of greed and overuse of sperm and eggs.</text>
