Speaking Reflection HW Due by Feb/9/2009 (Mindy)
On February 5th, I had disscussion about surrogate mother (or surrogacy) with Andy. First of all, he asked me if I can explain the meaning of surrogate mother. I said Surrogate birth is a fertility bargain where a woman who agrees to be pregnant for other parents who cannot have a baby.
“Do you think surrogate birth is the right thing to do because it just benefits parents who cannot have a baby?” He said.
I said it’s wrong even though it benefits sterile parents because you cannot buy or sell one’s life and surrogate mother is not human incubator.
He asked me what if sterile parents really want baby? so I said they can adopt baby, in that case, everyone can be happy.
