Abstract: | "People have always used surrogacy, i.e. the commissioning of a woman to gestate and give birth to a child for another would-be parent. Traditionally, this involved surrogates being (willingly or not) impregnated by the intending father through sexual intercourse. New reproductive technologies have made possible a new form of surrogacy, which has, over the past four decades, become an increasingly widespread practice. Nowadays, surrogacy usually has at least some commercial aspect and involves women consenting to carry babies for other people, sometimes conceiving with their own gametes, but more often than not using gametes obtained from the people who plan to raise the child, or by third parties"-- |
| Surrogacy is the commissioning of a woman to gestate and give birth to a child for another would-be parent. The practice raises several ethical questions, such as the commodification of the surrogate and of the baby, and the exploitation of the surrogate, issues which have been extensively debated. This book offers a fresh take on surrogacy, by concentrating on questions which bear on its justifiability: Is providing gestational services a permissible way of employing a woman's body? Indeed, is it a legitimate form of work? Are the children born out of surrogacy in any way wronged by surrogacy agreements? |
