[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How is paid surrogacy any different than buying kidneys or blood?[/quote]

It isn’t.  We don’t allow people to sell organs or engage in prostitution but we allow them to rent out their wombs? It really doesn’t make sense.[/quote]

+1, I think the main reason surrogacy is viewed more favorably in the US as opposed to other countries is the way [b]the evangelical movement in the US has convo fed Americans that there is nothing more important than procreating[/b]. Also explains hypocrisy in the US regarding abortion and IVF. [/quote]

I mostly agree. I think it's interesting that so many surrogates are evangelical or otherwise highly Christian and religious. People here are talking about exploitation, which is always a possibility, but what I've seen from US surrogates is that they tend to be married, financially stable people who view surrogacy as a higher (religious?) calling. Many of them have a LOT of kids and are not concerned about pregnancy complications; they popped out 5 of their own on the kitchen floor, what could go wrong? They're not doing it for the bucks and they don't feel the least bit exploited. They feel like they're helping God create families. As an atheist, I don't get it, but yeah I feel more favorably towards those women and surrogacy in the US than I do poor women in Indian baby farms doing it so they can put food on the table.
