do you think that the intended parents dont have anything vested in this whole situation? and as far as contracting goes these legal proceedings are governed by the applicable laws.
here is a summary of surrogacy laws in US, and if your basic issue is that the surrogate has a right to change mind, then looking at the list at the link, you may want to start campaignging against it in US first
Comprehensive Guide to State Surrogacy Laws
you are the one looking at it from a pay for service perspective and exploitation so I am comparing it to other . if the basis of the argument is that womena re doing it for money then unless it is illegal, which it is not, then the only issue one can have when it comes to exploitation is whether they are being compoensated fairly. what is fair is upto individual interpretation I suppose. IN my opinion your comparison to organ buying is somethign you should beg to differ more with.
oh and btw, they pay ppl for plasma and sperm in US and many other places around the world.
EXPLOITATION!!!
I am looking at it as being an exploitation of the person’s economic condition. I think the commercial use of surrogacy should be illegal, not that how much they are or should be paid. I still think that adoption is a very good option rather then commercial surrogacy.
