In surrogacy process the woman rents her body for other couple. This should be a new form of exploitation and trafficking in women. In surrogacy process, the child is treated as a mean for earning money or the object of a legal agreement. The main goal of surrogacy is to fulfil the wish the of couple, to enable foreign parents to satisfy their need for a child at any price.
There are even some positive aspects behind surrogacy which is considered better than the adoption process:
• As the process of adoption takes couples of years so the better idea is surrogacy in which the waiting period is only nine months.

The surrogacy agency also check if any criminal record or any medical issue of the surrogate and her family members. Many intended parents also choose the sex of the baby by offering pre implantation genetic diagnosis.
Baby for selling conspiracy is also adapted were the mother of that baby is paid a huge amount of money to the poor women who has no other option then selling her child. It is said to be tricky ethics. Sometimes the women’s body is sold internally on the global market place for sex trafficking and the organized crime will sale in the surrogacy market.
India, is at lead of the surrogacy market, has raised several issues regarding the concerns of surrogacy as it is highly of the global surrogacy market, and has raised concerns regarding the ethics of surrogacy because it is highly unregulated and open to exploitive situations. There are few examples like if surrogates are poor, illiterate and are from the rural place then they can be easily recruited. Those surrogacy recruits are kept in clinics were they are monitored 24 hrs. Sometimes they also rent the Indian women to westerns to surrogate.

    In my opinion on the "Surrogate Parenting: Mary Beth Whitehead: surrogate mother's case, I believe Ms. Whitehead was generous to be the surrogate for Elizabeth Stern, who she was unable to have a child on her own, due to her severe health problems. Also, the Stern was generous as well to assist her with $10,000 and pay for her medical expenses, both Mary Beth Whitehead and the Sterns was courteous to assist each other; although, if Mrs. Whitehead made a better decision after giving birth, instead of leaving the state with the child, she should have rather brought it to court on whether she should claim custody of the child. As a result, I assume Mary Beth Whitehead felt felicitous she was pregnant and she was born a girl which drawn her want…

    However, the agreement to act as a surrogate mother is considered a statutory illegal contract, specifically when it is done for the exchange of a fee or payment (pg. 173 textbook). This is further supported in section 6 (1) of the Assisted Human Reproduction Act (AHRA), stating, “No person shall pay consideration to a female person to be a surrogate mother, offer to pay such consideration or advertise that it will be paid” (Section 6(1), The Assisted Human Reproduction…

    (safehaven.tv)The quality of rights for women is crucial to our society and to give a peace of mind to those who gone through just the labor process is enlightening to give protection to them. Giving another way out when the mother is in critical circumstance and can’t give out their identity for personal reason should be understood because understanding this would be better than seeing abandoned in harm babies. “First, locate your state on the state finder map. Second, read about the law in your state. It’s important you pay attention to the locations in your state that will take babies, third, bring your unharmed baby to one of those locations.”…

    The issue of surrogacy and birth technologies with family law brings up a myriad of legal implications. Technology has and will continue to expand and evolve at an accelerated rate. Laws governing the use of such technologies are failing in some areas and the law fails to keep up with the rapid changes in society and technology. This is because the surrogate mother has exclusive custody rights; she cannot be forced to give up the child and also has a period of reconsideration of initial intentions and the natural father has no claim to the child.…

    Judith Jarvis Thomson argues that abortion is justifiable due to the fact that in the early stages of pregnancy the unborn child is only a clump of cells and tissues. I, however will argue that Thomson’s views are inadequate due to simple life cycles and the false pretenses that an unborn child isn’t a real “person”. Thomson who, although has some very useable points from her paper “A Defense of Abortion” I still would have to disagree and stand firm in my position of anti-abortion. But we won’t get into that; just yet.…

    This is not a case where you can swipe your credit card to buy items, and then bring it back to the store to return. Additionally, this practice may have the potential to exploit women since “surrogate sellers have less wealth and are more emotionally vulnerable than buyers. Along the process for these women may also cause much psychological and emotional stress that they must bear. The child could also face health risks as well, even if guidelines are set for what the surrogate may consume or activities she can and cannot partake in, any consequences could arise. Therefore, it is truly a decision that should not be taken lightly.…

    Even if one were to claim that commercial surrogacy is not the sale of the child as the child is already the father’s, Anderson clarifies that child is still treated as a commodity due to the treatment of the surrogate’s rights over the child (1990: 77). The couple pay for exclusive rights to the child. If the surrogate were to refuse to relinquish her parental rights, she would not be paid of the service of surrogacy. As the child has not been given to the commissioning couple, she will not be paid. Even though the surrogate did not complete the service wholly by relinquishing her parental rights, the service of carrying and delivering the child was completed.…

    The United Nations have sharp criticism against Safe Haven laws that have been growing popular all across the world. The United Nation Committee on the Rights of the Child says that because there are no required documents naming the parents when the child is surrendered that it breaks the right of the child, “to be known and cared by his or her parents” (Dimond). However, safe haven laws were created to enable a person to give up an unwanted infant anonymously and most likely want to keep their pregnancy a secret. Many women feel as though they have nowhere to turn once when they have an unwanted pregnancy. The United Nations want countries to create better family options rather than using baby boxes (“Safe Haven For Abandoned Babies: Baby…

    Tina Rulli, in her article The Unique Value of Adoption, argues that adoption offers a unique value for prospective parents as it allows them to provide for a child in need rather than creating a child that will be in need. With this, she proposes that all couples look to adopt and not only couples having difficulties procreating, whether naturally or through Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART). She stresses that “adoption provides a morally noble opportunity to extend to a stranger benefits usually withheld for one’s genetic kin” (Rulli 110). I fully agree with Rulli’s concept that adopting is an exemplary act that should be looked upon with dignity, and that greater importance should be given to the process of adoption. However, I am skeptical…

    Issues might arise with the gestational mother not detaching herself from the child, or wanting too much or too little involvement in the child life, depending on the parents’ wishes. The surrogate goes through an emotional process as do the parents whose child she is carrying and thus consequences may happen and everything does not always go smoothly. To add to that, a very talked about ethical issue is that surrogacy is being thought of as a luxury, but comes up is that it is actually a business in many parts of the world using women as almost like machines to make a profit. That kind of tragic things make people wonder why couples do not adopt and start comparing the ups and downs of both, marking yet another issue. All in all, surrogacy is still used worldwide despite the controversy and ethical issue that are surrounding…
