Surrogacy is fast becoming one of the major issues of the 21st century—celebrities and everyday people are increasingly using surrogates to build their families. But the practice is fraught with complex implications for women, children, and families. What is the impact on the women who serve as surrogates and on the children who are born from surrogacy? In what ways might money complicate things? What about altruistic surrogacy done for a family member or close friend? Is surrogacy a beautiful, loving act or does it simply degrade pregnancy to a service and a baby to a product? Can we find a middle ground? Should we even look for one?
From The Center for Bioethics and Culture, producers of the award-winning Eggsploitation (2010, 2013), and Anonymous Father’s Day (2011), Breeders: A Subclass of Women? explores this important issue, talking with surrogates, physicians, psychologists, and activists across the political and ideological spectrum.
The CHOICE! Film Festival supports all mothers in their choices.
You can RSVP on Facebook.
The surrogate mother is the woman who will carry the embryo for a certain couple and will give the child to them following the birth of the child. According to Fertility Match in Ottawa, the process is not simple since there are numerous aspects to surrogacy. The parties involved must understand very well the legal issues in surrogacy to prevent unforeseen challenges in the future in Canada. .. Thank you so much for your blog…
