[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some people want to believe that there are no ethical issues with global commercial surrogacy and that it's a win-win, on an even playing field.

That is often not the reality, which is why for-profit surrogacy have been banned in most countries, with only a handful of exceptions.

There is extensive research demonstrating that the global surrogacy industry has been prone to exploitation and abuse.

Some surrogacies have certainly worked out to the satisfaction of all parties.

But anyone who is a fervent cheerleader for the use of international surrogacy without also acknowledging its problematic aspects is either in denial or disingenuous.

Do you want to build a strawman? Nobody here is a “fervent cheerleader”.  I see people saying that it can be done ethically, and people making blanket statements that it can never be OK to have a surrogate outside of your country code.

Even people who think that it can be mutually beneficial don’t think that there are zero precautions that should be taken. Saying “it is [i]possible[/i] for this transaction to be done unethically, and therefore it should never ever be done” isn’t a particularly persuasive take. Nor is “it is always unethical to pay people less to do X if you could get an American to do it for more money.”[/quote]
