Cahn, Test Tube Families: Why the Fertility Market needs Regulation, 2009. It assesses autonomy in the context of reproduction and intimate relationships to determine in particular, whether a free market approach, provides for greater individual autonomy than state regulation and legislation. It concludes that autonomy is constrained by relational, contextual and normative influences so that neither regulatory system promotes unfettered autonomy.
