Surrogacy - Support and Opposition

 

Also supporters of surrogacy think that some couples can ask a close family member or a close friend to be a surrogate mother for them. This would be better for couples because they know the person and it can also be cheaper for them. Couples wouldn't have to go through as much process as the regular process for the procedure. This process can be more natural for couples. .
             Anti supporters are people who follow certain religions, people who don't wan homosexuals to have kids, or people who just don't agree with surrogacy. According to Surrogate Motherhood anti-supporters think surrogacy is wrong. They are more worried about the money. They feel as though, that this is "baby selling", because of how much the surrogate is getting paid to do this. Anti-supporters also argue that the surrogate "should have the same right to choose to parent the child as she would if she were a mother considering placing her child for adoption" (Adamec and Pierce).
             Juniper Russo is an anti-supporter of surrogacy, but has a little brother and sister that were born through surrogacy. She loves them but doesn't think this is right. She says that surrogacy is an "extreme form of prostitution"(Russo) ,because women are doing this as a choice, but is also out of desperation for the amount of money. She says that surrogate mothers are making this as a career. .
             Costal Surrogacy says "As a Surrogacy Agency, our role is to get to know you on a personal level". They want to meet with couples before they start any paperwork or procedures. This company says they will work with couples to find the right surrogate for them. They find the right surrogate for them who might have similar interests, religious beliefs, or personal goals. This makes couples more comfortable with the surrogate. .
             Depending on which agencies you go to for surrogacy, costs varies. Gestational surrogacy costs more than traditional surrogacy.
