Surrogacy is an arrangement or deal whereby a woman agrees to become pregnant for the purpose of giving birth to a child for others to raise. She must be implanted with someone else’s fertilized egg or be inseminated with the sperm of the commissioning father. Besides, this woman must bear the child for approximately 9 months till ‘it’ is born. Due to these circumstances, it is certain that the pregnant mother is the child’s genetic or conception mother, though at later stage she has to hand over her role of social mother to the commissioning mother.

In fact, surrogacy has inflicted much controversial debates in the world. One of the clearest arguments for supporting surrogacy is that it allows infertility and childless couples who want a family, to have a child. It is also one of the ways to get a child, besides adoption.
However, the question is should surrogacy be continued? What happens if the surrogate mother violates the deal by not giving the child to ‘its’ commissioning parents? What happens if the child born has severe disabilities? How if miscarriage or multiple births occur? Should there still be a payment?

Furthermore, there are some religions stating that surrogate motherhood is not ethically and morally acceptable because it is contrary to unity of marriage and against the genuine process of child birth.
There might be even serious debate, for instance, if a mother helps her infertility daughter to bear a child by being the surrogate mother, it might cause conflict regarding who the real mother of the baby is. Is it the “grandmother” who gives birth to the baby? Or is it the genetic mother who does not conceive the baby at all? Sensibly, the genetic mother will not know the excruciating pain of conceiving and giving birth to a baby, which has known to strengthen the relationship among the baby and mother. So, do you think the genetic mother is playing her role as a real mother?

Therefore, is surrogacy acceptable? Should surrogacy be allowed? Ladies and gentlemen, I really would like to hear your views regarding this matter.

I personally find nothing wrong with it. As you said, it can help infertile couples have a baby that's at least partially theirs (genetically speaking), and it's also useful for gay couples, who would need a woman to carry their child (for obvious reasons).

I understand that there are downsides to it, but there are downsides to everything. Things like withholding the baby become legal issues, akin to stealing. To circumvent something like that, there should ideally be some sort of contract signed by all parties beforehand. This could also cover what happens in the event of a miscarriage or other problem with the pregnancy and/or baby itself. Sort of a family-by-family basis. Having strict limits on who can be a surrogate and what they can do while pregnant would probably also be good ideas. I mean, having your daughter's baby is a nice thing to do, but it's really just weird to think about. Then again, the mother would be more related to that baby than if it had been carried by a stranger.

Morals should really have nothing to do with it. If a person finds surrogacy immoral or unethical, they shouldn't have kids through a surrogate. But the qualms of a few people shouldn't keep others from having kids that are least somewhat genetically related to them.
