The commissioning parents are not interested in pregnancy, but in obtaining the child for which they are paying. Thus, talking about ‘gestational donation’, as has been proposed, is not only inappropriate, but also completely false, because one cannot donate a biological process (can we imagine a ‘donation of chewing’ for a person without teeth or a ‘donation of digestion’ for someone who has difficulty digesting and whom we would like to help?). What is asked of the woman is to carry a pregnancy under the conditions laid down by the sponsors and, above all, to hand over the child to them at birth. Abolition is the only solution.

Commercial and altruistic surrogacy contracts falsely equate sperm, egg, and nine months of pregnancy followed by childbirth. They entirely erase the pregnant woman and childbirth. In doing so, they further deprive women of their rights and place greater emphasis on genetic material that is extrinsic to the biological reality of pregnancy, which involves exchanges of blood, cells, emotions, sensations, etc. #abolishsurrogacy #surrogate #abolition #abolishsurrogacynow #truthaboutsurrogacy #humantrafficking

Statistics reveal the following about surrogacy in the United States: - Measured by the number of embryo transfers, activity has doubled in eight years. At this rate, 8,000–9,000 transfers are performed each year, around 40–45% of which are in response to international demand. International clients mainly come from China (42%), France (9%), Spain (8.5%), the United Kingdom (5.3%), and Israel (5%). Two particularities are worth noting. Firstly, surrogate mothers of Hispanic origin are proportionally more numerous in surrogacy arrangements for foreign clients (29%) than for domestic clients (12%). Secondly, 41% of international clients are either male couples or single men, compared to 19.6% of domestic clients. Conclusion: Shifting the focus from clients to the women carrying pregnancies reveals that as many as 8,000 women may be recruited as surrogate mothers in the United States each year. However, the study remains largely silent on their situation. How many multiple pregnancies are there? What is the failure rate? What impact does this have on their health and lives? fertstert.org/article/S0015-…
