(Spanish: Creo que a día de hoy no son equivalentes. Cuando una mujer dice a uno, '¡guapo!', puede que esté describiendo una realidad física, ese hombre es muy guapo.

There are real life dramas: women who do not have a uterus, who have suffered cancer, or the case of homosexual couples ... How can I not understand that frustration? But you can not put your desires above rights. The body is the limit of what can be bought and sold." (Spanish: Creo que uno de los deseos más fuertes de las personas es ser padres. Hay verdaderos dramas vitales: mujeres que no tienen útero, que han sufrido cáncer, o el caso de parejas homosexuales... ¿Cómo no voy a entender esa frustración? Pero no se pueden poner los deseos por encima de los derechos. El cuerpo es el límite de lo que se puede comprar y vender.)
