 Radio Talk on the theme of Surrogacy

The document under study is a recording of a radio talk show on the theme of surrogacy. We can hear several opinions on the topic.

Hence, the advantages of surrogacy are that it allows unmarried women and older ones that are too busy with their job careers who cannot have a baby naturally to be able to become a mother. Moreover, it can help infertile couples to have a baby. For example, a surrogate who already had three children of her own gave birth to three sets of twins for three couples. In addition, surrogacy is a form of privilege for the people who have money.

On the contrary, the baby may not correspond to the expectations of the parents. Additionally, the relationship with the surrogate could be strange with the children of the surrogate. Besides, there are other solutions such as adoption. Furthermore, if a woman cannot assume being pregnant herself, she should not deserve to have a child and be a mother. Lastly, the fact that wealthy Westerners are using the service of poor Indian women is a form of globalization at its worst.
