[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No. It is not ethical to rent a woman’s womb. Women are not chattel. [/quote]

Since when does chattel get paid?

The essence of slavery is the lack of choice and fair compensation. Neither of those apply here, so gtfo with your (ahem) histrionics.  OP isn’t talking about hiring a poor woman from a developing nation and your constant effort to argue that it’s the same thing  just shows how much you infantalize women, and how incapable you think they are of making their own choices. [/quote]

Since when DO chattel get paid, not does. The word is always plural.

Anyway, why on earth do you think it's one person arguing this argument?  Face it, many people feel this way and many different people have posted on this thread. Oh, and this pesky lil thing called the European Court of Human Rights. [/quote]

Sure, grammar pedantry totally bolsters a weak argument.

There’s clearly more than one person, but there’s also one person who’s been spending a whole lot of time here. You can recognize her because she has a little to offer except inchoate moral outrage, confusion about which continent we’re on, and the deep conviction that no woman knows her own mind enough to freely choose to be a surrogate.

However,  you are absolutely correct that this may describe more than one person. [/quote]

I think you're the one who is being historianic now. That was never the argument. And it's a little disingenuous to bring feminism into it. Have you learned nothing about class privilege? I'm fine with it being completely altruistic like in the UK but as soon as money changes hands things are suspect and it makes people into a commodity[/quote]
