Some think surrogacy can be a wonderful gift for individuals and couples who are unable to have children on their own.?
Completely agree, a good option for those couples who cannot conceive, nothing wrong with that and it's a personal choice.

They could adopt a child too.
Seriously??
I'm not sure about your country - but not in Australia they can't - extremely few babies available for adoption in Australia and very costly and difficult to adopt from over seas
I have no issues with surrogacy as long as all parties are willing and able and i n agreement
It isnt political here - as far as I know neither major party has any particular stance on this..

Being as you seem to be interested in this topic, why don't you start off by saying what YOU think of it...

Surrogacy has been going on for years now. Many woman who canāt get pregnant go for this option with great success.
Is the ārent a wombā something you came up with or is there a company hiring woman to give birth for others? If so, do you have a link?

Well, there is a dilemma. If a woman is able to "rent out her womb", why can't she "rent" out other parts of her body?
To that, all I can say is it ain't my body.

It's been going on since biblical times. Abraham's wife Sarah couldn't bear a child, so she begged her husband to impregnate her handmaid, Hagar, so that she could raise the child as her (Sarah's) own.

Yes. Iām all for it. In fact, I think itās wonderful for those who canāt have a child themselves.
Iām missed the surrogate part somehow. The phrase āwomb for rentā threw me off. My mind immediately went some place sadistic.

I didn't know it was controversial. I know 2 couples who used a surrogate. The babies are grown now and turned out fine, but one of the couples had a heap of problems when the husband and the surrogate became attracted to each other.
His wife's advice now: Don't agree to let a surrogate mom be a part of the child's life or become a new member of the family.

I think, if done for the right reasons and will full understanding of the various consequences, that is it can be the most selfless thing someone could do for another person. However, as with all things, it needs tight control to ensure it's not abused. But at the highest level, I'd say it can be amazing.
