Some people sell products......other people sell services.......she sold lives.
Elise Johnson was a sperm dealer. She ran a fertility clinic that catered to the best and the brightest, servicing successful, middle aged, mothers who where without men, yet wanted the best child possible. All donors were carefully screened, and only superior candidates were allowed to enter, like some fertility version of Harvard. The sperm that was accepted came from anyone from state senators, to world renowned doctors, to real estate moguls, to FORTUNE 500 CEOS. Women around the country were custom making their babies to create the best child possible. In one area of the culture she was celebrated, while in others she was thought to be a demon.
Elise was unable to conceive children, and her service American Baby was created out of a need to do it. She wanted to give other women the gift she never had and that was the gift of life.
Elise is met with criticism from conservative Christians who say she is playing God, a family who is close minded, and a husband who wants a baby. As angry Christians, a dysfunctional family, and husband with a wandering eye, push her to the edge, she asks certain questions of herself.
Am I wrong for selling genetically superior sperm and custom making babies? Am I less than a woman for not being able to have my own child? Will my mother and sister accept me for who I truly am? Will my husband leave me for a woman he can actually have a child with? Will I finally end up alone?
The Sperm Dealer is a unique look into one woman's journey to find love, happiness and a bouncing baby boy or girl. A must read.
