Surrogacy

Here Williams’ uses the biblical narrative of the African slave woman’s experience of Hagar to introduce surrogacy; the act of being put in the place of another.

In the real world, surrogates may survive, but does exploit women. In many places, especially in Western Europe women turn to surrogacy for income and are like "baby machines." The final connection I can make…

There are a couple more options to look into. The first is surrogacy. A surrogate is a woman that carries the baby for someone else. “There are two types of surrogacy. One is traditional where the surrogate’s own eggs are used along with the father’s sperm. The other is gestational surrogacy, which includes both parents’ genetic materials or with donor eggs or sperm (McWhorter Sember and Law 65).” “Surrogacy cost between $25,000 to $50,000.” (McWhorter Sember and Law xvii) Another…
