California: The couple hired a surrogate to have a baby. erstwhile it turned out that a female was expecting triplets, the buyers demanded an abortion of 1 of them. Surogatka refused to kill the baby. Client lawyers scare her with the consequences of the surrogate contract she signed. They just announced that she's not going to get the money she was expected to get.
They force abortion
By agreement When saving children's lives, a female violated the evidence that “planned parents” have the right to decide the destiny of the fetus. The right to decide besides includes a possible "reduction" of the fetus, simply killing possible overnumbered children. Surogatka, brought to the function of ‘pregnant’ (in the first contract ‘gestional carrier’), must agree to a selective abortion. Otherwise, she will not be reimbursed during pregnancy. In addition, it will gotta reimburse the money with interest and pay compensation for alleged moral and financial losses incurred by the awarding entities. 1 can imagine that these amounts will be huge. It is likely that the court will find the compensation that will become the estimation of the child's life. In this situation there is no respect for man – a kid is treated like a commodity and a female as a “pregnant”. The feminist slogan “my body, my choice” does not work here. The baby has no choice. However, women's autonomy is regulated by California State law. This right ignores fundamental human rights: life, health, dignity, the protection of children and women. At the same time, it is ruthless and cruel in enforcing a commercial contract.
Surogatka loses her salary
In a letter addressed to a woman, lawyers mention a paragraph of a contract whereby the kid may be abortioned for any medical reason. For example, disability can be specified a reason. If more embryos appear as a consequence of the transfer, the surrogate should be reduced by 1 of them. If “planned parents” decide that they want only 1 child, even 2 small ones can be killed.
In this story, evil is total: 1 of the children is to lose his life, a female is treated like a birthing machine, and future parents stay ruthless towards triplets. Selective abortion carries a hazard of death for children and for surrogates. Right now, babies are safe under the heart of a parent who fights for their lives.
Who's the mother?
You can't not ask a question: who is the parent of a kid born under the power of the contract? An egg donor or a female who carries a baby in her tummy (a surrogate)? The level is Olivia Maurel – a French female born as a consequence of a surrogate, who present fights to ban this act:
For a baby, genetics don't count. His parent is simply a female who wore them in her womb, whose voice learned to recognize. She's having the baby. For 9 months, so many things have happened. There's no denying that. We know well that a kid in the womb can hear her voice. And after birth, he instinctively seeks her. And here it is decided that this bond will be broken. It's always a trauma to the baby. Like adoption. But in this case, abandoning a kid by a parent is programmed, and that's why it's so much scarier.
They kill babies after birth.
Despite refusing to have an abortion, lawyers are inactive trying to force an American female to kill 1 of the triplets. What happens erstwhile a female gives birth to children who are not related to her?
Surogation practices in California have frequently ended tragically. Two gay men late hired a surrogate to have a baby for their whim. During her pregnancy, a female had breast cancer. She decided to have a baby in the 25th week so she could start oncological treatment. Pseudo-parents However, they refused to accept the premature and did not pay the woman. erstwhile the surrogate wanted to adopt the baby, the men besides refused! Moreover, they besides refused to let medical personnel to take lifesaving therapy. The boy, deprived of medical help, died just after giving birth in suffering and loneliness.
Another surrogate, Stephanie Levesque, besides refused to have an abortion of a sick child. After giving birth, the baby was kidnapped, and the female inactive has no thought what happened to him.
Macaque for rent
The most common form of foster motherhood in California is ‘gestational Surrogacy’ means in vitro fertilisation utilizing ‘target parent’ or donor cells, followed by the transfer of a tiny baby to a ‘rented uterus’. The Surogat has no genetic relation with the child. It happens that the contracting organization is not related to the kid either.
The state of California officially legalized the surrogacy in 2013. According to state law, the surrogate can't keep the baby she gave birth to. The prohibition is based on 2 issues: firstly – it is not related to it, and secondly – it prohibits it from doing so.
In Poland, according to the Code of household and Care, only the female who gave birth is simply a mother. In the case of his birth by another woman, the foster parent is included in the birth certificate. So the transfer of parental rights is only by adoption. In Poland, taking financial advantage in exchange for birth and giving birth to a kid may be punishable as trafficking in human beings. So many theories. But reality is different. Online forums frequently print announcements: "I will rent a belly", "a surrogate from now on". Surogation in Poland takes place semi-legally.
Children with surrogacy suffer
Gehenna of children born of surrogacy is invisible to many people due to the fact that the tenants of the uterus believe that their desire for a kid and money will take care of everything. However, the kid lives with the pain of losing ties with the parent who gave birth to him.
I was separated from my birth mother, the only female I knew, I felt... the 1 I wanted.– informs Olivia Maurel. And it explains how people who are not born of foster motherhood may not realize or ignore the emotional effects on children. I had to make a large leap into a cold, natural world, be thrown into the arms of people I didn't know. This is simply a traumatic event for a newborn who has to deal with the emptiness of the absence of a mother, her milk, her smell.
Surogacy is trafficking in human beings
The cost of hiring a surrogate in the US ranges from $60,000 to $150,000. It's large money, which is why couples (also homosexuals) tend to look for cheaper solutions. They search for Mexico or Latin America (up to US$70,000) or in east Europe, mainly in Ukraine (up to US$50,000). In Poland, the average cost is PLN 100 thousand.
The US global maternity marketplace was estimated at $22.4 billion in 2024. Forecasts foretell that it will emergence to $129.9 billion in 2032. This includes costs in fertility clinics, hospitals and salaries for intermediary agencies.
Surrogacy involves dramatic consequencesoften leading to suffering and death. It's besides a immense business. trafficking in human beings, in which – as the stories above show – moral limits in pursuit of profit do not exist.
