Surrogacy or surrogacy is an assisted reproduction technique in which a woman gestates a baby for another person or couple. It is in the “chandelier” because the presenter and biologist Ana Obregon she has been the mother of such a girl.
In surrogacy, the surrogate will not be the mother of the baby, since the parents who contract the service will be the ones who will raise it.
At 68 years of age, Obregón has revived the controversy about hiring women to carry and deliver babies that they then deliver to their clients. According to what they say from eldiario.es the practice is illegal in Spain and legal in the United States and other countries and for people with a lot of money.
In fact, in Spain there are more than 2,500 children born by surrogacy in other countries and then registered in our registry by families that had contracted the process abroad.
Surrogacy is illegal in Spain due to Law 14/2006. Also, the supreme court ruled in 2022 that surrogacy contracts are null and void because they violate the Fundamental rights of the pregnant woman and the gestated child.
From the point of view ethicalsome argue that surrogacy is ethically problematic because it can exploit pregnant women and turn children into objects to be bought and sold.
Others argue that surrogacy is ethically acceptable as long as it is done in a voluntary and the rights of all parties involved are protected.
There is no health problems directly involved in surrogacy, since it is an assisted reproduction technique that is performed in a controlled medical environment. It is how I write a matter, ethical and legal.
