Surrogate Mothers Or Those Donating Gametes For Research And Fertility Treatment Of Others Receive Remuneration For Their Contributions

This statement implies that society and populations progress and there is a need for new laws to cater for this progress. Technology can sometimes present new challenges which the law must meet. Some of these technological challenges have included assisted birth technology (ABT) like surrogate births, and in IVF.

Commercial surrogacy is the process in which a woman is paid a fee to carry and deliver a baby to term. Once the baby is delivered, the woman relinquishes all parental rights to the commissioning couple who exclusively raise the child as their own. Altruistic surrogacy, by contrast, is an arrangement where the surrogate receives reimbursement but only for the expenses that she may have incurred during the pregnancy. In this essay I will argue that commercial surrogacy should not be market-inalienable. I will start by outlining Elizabeth Anderson’s argument in “Is Women’s Labor a Commodity?” in which she offers a number of criticisms to commercial surrogacy. I will then outline objections to the argument and highlight how her argument is highly speculative and does not provide an adequate basis for the prohibition of commercial surrogacy.

In reproductive technology, ethical decisions should focus on the good of the children, their individual parents, and families, and let us not forget the good health and common good of the larger society (Morrison, 2009). Exercising the principles of ethics can assist in finding common ground in NRT. Bioethical issues include the appropriate use of pre-implantation genetic diagnostic screening, use, storage and destruction of excess IVF embryos, and research involving embryos. “NRT research requires human participants, donors and donated embryos, oocytes and sperm” (Adelaide Centre for Bioethics and Culture, 2013). Ethics committees have detailed expected behaviors/regulations that are supposed to be followed if participating in this type of medical treatment. In fact, advisory groups and researchers have encouraged participants to disclose the fact of gamete donation to the offspring, and some clinics will aid in assisting future contact if all members agree. (American Society for Reproductive Medicine, 2014). As a minimum, donors, and recipients have an obligation to disclose non-identifying medical information. Should a medical issue arise in the future, all participants have a

“Before the procedure, donors receive daily hormone injections for a week to ten days, which over-stimulates the ovaries to produce more than the usual single oocyte per menstrual cycle. The American Society for Reproductive Medicine estimates that egg donors spend fifty-six hors undergoing interviews, counseling, and medical procedures related to the process.” (Chapter Preface)

Pande thinks the long-range solution is to relax surrogacy regulation in other countries so that people don’t need to leave their home countries to find surrogate mothers. She proposed an international model of surrogacy founded on openness and transparency on three fronts: in the structure of payments, in the medical process, and in the relationships forged within surrogacy.

Various ethical issues which we see that needed addressing would be the following. The purpose and intent of parties. The agreement is to provide a means for the intended parents to become the parents of a child, which is carried and birthed by the surrogate after the surrogate upon artificially inseminated. Representation and warranties where the intended parents warrant that

The Transtheoretical Model is made for individuals to adapt to and maintain a heal behavior change. For example, an individual who has stopped smoking for the past six months has reached the maintenance stage in which chances of relapse are low. Although chances of relapse are low there is still a chance the person may fall back into their old behavior. However, if the individual has reached a stage where they have no temptation for their old habits and they have reached 100% self-efficacy then they have reached the termination stage. This is a very difficult stage to reach since at this stage the behavior change will remain permanently and where relapse does not occur.

Due to the ever-changing growth in technology women, men and families are now able to control the birth of a child and also have a child even when their bodies are unable to do so. Surrogacy is an arrangement where consent is given to another to carry another’s child for the duration of the full pregnancy for the intended parents. There are two forms of surrogacy, gestational and traditional. Birth control plays another key role in giving families and couples the option of removing the possibility of a child. One of these birth technologies includes the emergency contraception; commonly know as the morning after pill.

Surrogate motherhood agreements have motivated widespread public, governmental and academic debate. Surrogacy refers to a practice when another woman carries and gives birth to a baby for the couple who want to have a child. Full surrogacy (also known as Host or Gestational) involves the implantation of an embryo created using either:

In this video, I learned many things about surrogacy and donor parents. When a woman is trying to have a baby but fails to succeed, she often turns to alternative ways. One of the first things she may try is artificial insemination or IFV. Both of these treatments are ways to conceive a child and carry it in your own womb. There are many times that women want to have their own biological child, but it will not work. The next for women in this situation is surrogacy. Surrogacy is when another women carries a child and then gives it to the women to raise as her own. This often has many problems because either the surrogate mother wants to keep the child or the other mother decides she does not want to have a baby anymore.

Eggsploitation is a 2010 documentary that draws attention towards the multi-billion dollar infertility industry in the United States. The filmmaker does this by investigating what transpires within the egg donation business and interviewing donors who have had damaging effects since contributing. Ultimately they go as far as to compare the process to human trafficking because of some of the consequences of donating eggs alone. The film is incredibly thought provoking and brings up several critical points, most notably the lack of sufficient safety data on the risks of egg extraction or even donor post operation records documentation. However despite this the film remains exceedingly bias as it aggressively emphasizes its views on how women

Consequently exposing those targeted communities’ cultural practices and institutions to promote and later perpetuate several negative stereotypes.

In order to identify the problem of egg donation, one must take into account the harm that is attached to said problem. Without payment regulations, egg donation agencies have the ability to compete with one another to receive more donations. This lack of order is detrimental to the health of women because of the financial encouragement to become repeat donors. To decrease the number of repeat donors, all egg donation agencies should strictly implement the $10,000 maximum payment set forth by the American Society of Reproductive Medicine (ASRM).

In today’s technologically advanced society, many services exist to assist in the conception of children. Genetic technologies that were once used for screening purposes and fertilizing the infertile are now utilized in an industry where gametes are bought and sold for specific heritable traits in order to conceive the perfect child. To obtain these ideal gametes couples place advertisements, independently or through donor or fertility clinics, which list their desired characteristics and the price they are willing to pay for donation of sperm or eggs. It is unethical for individuals seeking an ideal conception to place donor-seeking ads including their genetic wish list and their monetary offer for those who fulfill this list. This paper
