Homework Help: Social Studies: World Issues: Surrogate Birth
by Osamu Tutida
A surrogate mother means a woman who bears a child for someone else. There are a lot of infertile women now. Surrogate birth is their last hope.
But, surrogate birth is wrong for three reasons. First, A woman isn't a tool to give birth to a child. This kind of practice invades the dignity of women.
Second, surrogate birth puts a surrogate mother at risk. A pregnant woman may often get some disorders.In some cases, they may threaten her life. We should not expose a third person to risk in order to have our child.
Third, no one knows whether a child born from a surrogate mother can become as happy as a normal child. Having two mothers may have a bad effect on a child delivered by a surrogate mother. Furthermore, a conflict between a surrogate mother and the infertile couple who ask her to bear their child may arise if she refuses to give them the child. This kind of conflict can happen because a surrogate mother comes to deeply love the child that she carries. This situation is not good for the welfare of the child.
