[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why does this matter to you now?
How on earth would commercial surrogacy ever be ethical enough to be just out of necessity?[/quote]

Because it's modern slavery? It's disgusting. It's one step away from buying poor people's organs.[/quote]

Paying someone to perform a service is not slavery. [/quote]

NP but do you think prostitution should be legal? They are similar in terms of a woman renting out her body and taking on a dangerous health risk.[/quote]

I feel similarly about both prostitution and surrogacy— in a world where women and people of color truly have full and equal rights and economic participation, they should be legal.

We don’t live in that world, though, so both practices result in exploitation of women, and especially women of color and poor women with limited economic opportunity. There are well-compensated prostitutes snd surrogates with real agency, but there are also many being exploited.

The answer is not to outlaw these things but to do more to equalize power— more and better economic options for women, better social support for mothers and pregnant women, better access to legal representation for women engaged in these jobs, etc.[/quote]
