When people enter a surrogacy arrangement, the probability is very high that they are the first ones from their whole surrounding who make such a strange attempt. These people generally become sole representatives of surrogacy arrangements to many people. And these people will form their impression about surrogacy only from this single case and that would be natural. As a rule, the intended parents will have to answer all the questions to avoid misconceptions of other people. So if you are an intended parent, be ready to explicate surrogacy to everyone around you. If you feel you won’t be able to cope with defending your choice this may be a warning that surrogacy is not for you.
1. There are many reasons why people feel disapprovingly about surrogacy. Some of their arguments may seem forcible and the others - completely weak. Before attempting a surrogate arrangement try to understand impartially different controversial opinions about surrogacy.
2. Some people think that surrogacy is unacceptable because of the relationship the surrogate mother and the child will have after nine month pregnancy. People disapprove of surrogacy because of the feelings the surrogate might have towards the baby she bears for such a long time and because it would be very hard for her to give that baby away.
3. There also exists a feministic point of view that the surrogates under pressure of their emotions and hormones use their reproductive abilities instead of other women, they are enslaving themselves to a form of reproductive prostitution. Such behavior destroys all respect women have been trying to accumulate for many centuries.
4. There are some people who really think that surrogacy is insulting towards women and children and that it is a threat to traditional family values. It splits motherhood and pregnancy and redefines parenthood and the legal status of biological connection.
4. Many surrogacy critics talk about possible exploitation of women because of involvement of money in the surrogacy process. Some think that that money will stimulate women to become surrogates mothers to earn them.
5. There is also the opinion that surrogacy is baby selling. The other one is that the surrogate mother makes the choice to participate in an arrangement with certain known risks. A lot of people know that the money given to a surrogate is not for the child but for the pregnancy and the surrogate’ s expenditures must be covered even in case if there are some problems with the baby’s health.
6. Some people believe that if a couple is infertile then that is God’s will and they can live without children or to adopt them.
7. Others think that surrogacy will be possible only when there will be no homeless, hungry children left.
8. Another viewpoint is that it is bad that surrogacy allows all people become parents despite of their age, past or mental health. Also some couples try to patch up their troubled marriage with children’s help.
9. There is an opinion that surrogacy transfers the pain one woman feels because she can’t have children to a second woman who will soon feel the pain of having given up her baby to the first one.
