I enjoy medical thrillers and found this book a good read.  Women in difficult financial situations are hired to be surrogates using artificial insemination but instead they become incubators for less than human drones genetically engineered for research related to specific diseases.  Amoreena is a pre-med student whose mother is dying of cancer and has let her health insurance lapse.  In an effort to the financial resources for her mother's continued medical care she signs a contract to become a surrogate yet the pregancy is anything but normal.  As she discovers the realities of the situation Amoreena is whisked off to Mexico where she is kept with the other "cows".  Can she escape and make it out of the nightmare alive?  The overall premise is eerie but you do have to suspend belief to thoroughly enjoy the book.  I would definitely recommend this book to those who enjoy medical thrillers and I do plan to read the second book in the series although I am unsure how it really fits into a series.
