I am a professor of sociology at the City University of New York, 4 where I serve on the Doctoral Faculties in Sociology, Women's Studies and Public 5 Health, and on the undergraduate level at Baruch College in the Department of 6 Sociology and Anthropology. I teach and write in the area ofbio-ethics with an 7 emphasis on issues relating to pregnancy, motherhood, and the mother-child 8 relationship. My Curriculum Vitae is attached to this Declaration and marked as 9 Exhibit A. 10 2. My sociological study of women and motherhood dates back to my 11 studies as a Master's student. I continued those studies and graduated with a Ph.D. 12 in Sociology from New York University in 1979 with the Dissertation Title: Two 13 Models ofMaternity Care: Defining and Negotiating Reality. 14 3. From 1977 to the present, I have written extensively on the issues of 15 pregnancy, motherhood, biomedical ethics, and surrogacy motherhood 16 arrangements. Within three years of obtaining my Ph.D., I authored my first book: 17 In Labor: Women and Power in the Birthplace. Since that time, I have single- 18 authored five other books, and co-authored two additional books. Several of these 19 works have been translated and published internationally in the United Kingdom, 20 Germany, Finland and Japan. In addition, an original book comprised of my 21 translated essays has been published in Germany. The central focus of these works 22 is the bioethical issues relating to women, particularly the treatment of women 23 during pregnancy and in their role as mother. I have authored over 40 papers in 24 professional journals and approximately 65 book chapters. I have also written 25 several reports and monographs, dozens of book reviews, and more than 40 other 26 publications. In addition to my role as author, I have also edited several works on 27 these topics. In 1993 I served as the Editor for The Encyclopedia of Childbearing: 28 Critical Perspectives. In 2008 I co-edited Bioethical Issues, Sociological BUCHALTER NEMER A r~onss1oNAL Co&PCII'.nlo:-.: 2 DECLARATION OF BARBARA KATZ ROTHMAN, Ph.D. PURSUANT TO 28 U.S.C. §1746 BN 20661521vl Case 2: 6-cv-00742-0DW-AFM Document 77 Filed 04/28/16 Page 3 of 17 Page 10 #:1643 1 Perspectives, and from 2006 to 2013, I was the Series Editor for Advances in 2 Medical Sociology. 3 4. Throughout my career, I have presented papers and participated in 4 seminars to speak about reproductive technologies, the human genome project, pre­ S natal testing and midwifery and birth .. I have spoken throughout the U.S., including 6 at Wesleyan University, Virginia Tech, University of California at Los Angeles, 7 and Yale University, to name a few. I have also been invited to speak at 8 international venues, including conferences and universities in Canada, the United 9 Kingdom, Germany, the Netherlands, Australia, New Zealand, Scotland and the 10 national Midwives Association of Japan. 11 5. In addition, I have also maintained several external faculty 12 memberships. In 1995, I was awarded a highly competitive Fulbright 13 Professorship, chosen by the Fulbright Committee, to the University of Groningen 14 in The Netherlands. While there I taught Medical Sociology and research methods, 15 and conducted research (a monograph called "Spoiling the Pregnancy" was 16 published by the Dutch Midwives' association). In 2002, I was honored with the 17 prestigious Maria Goeppert Mayer Professorship at the University of Osnabrueck in 18 Germany. Universities throughout Germany present candidates, Osnabrueck 19 nominated me, and that nomination was confirmed. While there, I conducted a 20 number of seminars, including issues in Bioethics. From 2002 - 2014, I was a 21 Visiting Professor at Charite Universitatsmedizin Medical School and Hospital in 22 Berlin, Germany, where I taught the Reproductive Health Module for the 23 International Masters in Health and Society. In 2003, I was honored with a 24 Leverhulme Professorship at Plymouth University. Those professorships are 25 awarded to an eminent researcher outside of the United Kingdom. From 2007 - 26 2015, I served as a Visiting Professor and taught the Sociology module of the 27 International Midwifery Pre-registration Program at Ryerson University in Toronto, 28 Canada.

Pregnancy Involves a Mother-Child Relationship and Not the Housing of 3 Embryos and Fetuses 4 9. A pregnant woman is actively mothering in the pregnancy, and not 5 'standing in' for someone else as the language of surrogacy would imply. A 6 pregnant woman is not a surrogate for, but an actual mother to the baby in her body, 7 no matter the source of the egg or the sperm. The mother and the baby she holds 8 within her are in a direct, interactive and social relationship. The actions and 9 behavior of each has consequences for the other. 10 10. The typical discussion of maternal-fetal relationship focuses on the 11 potential of harm from the pregnancy to the fetus - the pregnant woman is 12 understood to be constantly at risk of putting her fetus at risk. 1 And there is a logic 13 to this: fetal life is indeed a time of enormous vulnerability, and the environment of 14 the pregnant woman is the environment of the fetus within.

  • Reproductive Technologies and Surrogacy: a Feminist Perspective
    1599 REPRODUCTIVE TECHNOLOGIES AND SURROGACY: A FEMINIST PERSPECTIVE BARBARA KATz ROTHMANt During the "Baby M" case, I found myself caught up in the me- dia circus surrounding the case and spent an amazing amount of time in green rooms with Noel King, the man who had brokered the sur- rogacy contract between Mr. and Mrs. Stern and Mr. and Mrs. White- head. I think I spent more time putting on my makeup for that particular surrogate broker than I did with my husband that year. I found that one of the interesting things that happened was the way that the media used me for something it called balance. The media would have a carefully groomed "surrogate" and her broker on one side and then on the other side, it would usually have a rabbi or a priest or minister, and then me. The little tag that appeared in white letters on the television screen under me sometimes read "author" and sometimes read "sociologist," but usually it read "feminist," and so I was there to be the feminist balance. My family and friends time and again agreed with the viewpoint of the rabbi, the priest, or the minister. Today, I find myself in the same general mode of opposi- tion to this arrangement we call surrogacy, proving the point that surrogacy does, indeed, in every possible way, make for very strange bedfellows. Although I and others who are critical of the development of surrogacy from a feminist perspective may be on the same side of this particular fence as the religious leaders, we are coming from a very different place, and we are going to a very different place.

    Plant Archives Vol. 18 No. 1, 2018 pp. 242-246 ISSN 0972-5210 DEVELOPMENT AND QUALITY EVALUATION OF CARROT- PINEAPPLE BLENDED JUICE Danish Imitiyaz* and Er. Ronjen Singh Department of Food Process Engineering, Sam Higginbottom University of Agricultural Technology and Sciences, Allahabad (U.P.), India. Abstract Juice carrot (Daucus carota) and pineapple (Ananas comosus), were optimised to a blended beverage which was stored for 45 days in pet bottles (400 ml capacity) at refrigerated temperature. Physico-chemical and sensory analysis were evaluated. Marginal changes in pH, total soluble solids, acidity, vitamin C and beta-carotene were observed. The beta carotene content of juice was found (1697 µg) to be increased with increasing the proportion of carrot juice. Estimation of vitamin C content of sample (17.50mg) showed high improvement in nutritional value of carrot juice incorporated with pineapple juice. The acidity increased (0.47-1.45) and pH of the juice decreased progressively during the storage period. This may be due to the excessive fermentation and presence of lactic acid reducing micro-organism. It was found that the sample having ratio 65:35 (carrot- pineapple) had the best acceptability, which will also be helpful in providing dietary requirement of beta carotene to the consumer.Heat pasteurisation (900C for 25 sec) was more effective for inactivating the microbial flora. However, the shelf life of juice was established within 45 days. The product is recommended children, youth and elderly persons to be used within 45 days. Key words : Carrot-pineapple blended juice, physico-chemical, sensory and microbial characteristics. Introduction flavors in beverages and other products (Arthey, 1995; Fruits and vegetables are critical to good health, and and Carvalho et al., 2008).

National Agricultural Research Extension and Liaison Services (NAERLS), Ahmadu Bello University (A.B.U), Zaria, Nigeria *Corresponding Author’s Email: [email protected]: 07068798168 ABSTRACT Pineapple, water melon, cucumber and carrot are tropical fruits which tend to have short shelf – lives due to the climatic conditions of Nigeria. Processing them into juice and smoothies will reduce the amount of post harvest loss and create availability of natural fruit juice and smoothies in the market or at home for intake. Varieties of juice and smoothies were made from pineapple, watermelon, cucumber and carrot without adding any form of preservatives. Each fruit was blanched in a water bath for 5 – 10 minutes at (75-80) and thereafter blended with laboratory blender. These fruits were processed into juice and smoothies respectively, adding distilled water (1:1) and subsequently, sugar. The juice and smoothies were preserved under different temperature conditions, half were refrigerated and the other half left in a shelf at room temperature for three weeks. The products under experiment were subjected to sensory analysis before and after preservation based on taste, colour, flavour and texture at the end of three weeks (21 days).

  • Nutritional and Processing Aspects of Carrot (Daucus Carota) - a Review Haq Raees-Ul and Prasad K* Department of Food Engineering and Technology, S
    ISSN 2394 5168 South Asian J. Food Technol. Environ. 1(1): 1- 14 (2015) Nutritional and processing aspects of carrot (Daucus carota) - A review Haq Raees-ul and Prasad K* Department of Food Engineering and Technology, S. L. I. E. T., Longowal-148106, Punjab, India (*Email: [email protected]) Abstract Carrots are rich sources of carotene, ascorbic acid and are known as vitaminized food with moisture, protein, fat, carbohydrates, sugars and fiber. The carrots are the unique roots rich in carotenoids and have a characteristic flavor due to the presence of terpenoids and polyacetylenes. The mono terpenoids and sesquiterpenoids are the dominant terpenes and the falcarinol compounds constitute polyacetylenes. The harsh carrot flavor is masked to an acceptable limit by the late development of sugars in the root during growth. The variance in the pigments results in the formation of red, orange, yellow, purple, black and white roots. The pigments present in different colored roots have widespread medicinal properties towards human health, viz. lutein in the yellow carrots acts in the development of macular pigments essential for the normal eye functioning. Carrots are consumed either raw or cooked and processed into value added products viz. canned carrots, chips, candy, kheer, halwa, powder, juice, beverages, preserve and intermediate moisture products. Carrots have been already used for the preparation of soups, beverages, wine, stews, curries, pies and jams as blending agents. This paper revealed the nutritional and processing aspect of the carrot. Keywords: Nutritional, processing, carotene, vitaminized, canned carrot. Carrot is the diverse colored crop grown and vegetables on the basis of nutrition.
