Dilemma 8

Q Watch: Ethical dilemma number eight: Surrogacy Discuss: Should surrogacy be permitted? All written material will be judged not only on content but style. Typos, grammatical and spelling errors, and dishonesty (plagiarism) will all count against the final grade assigned. To successfully participate in a discussion forum, students will need to post a minimum of three relevant postings to the discussion, over at least three different days of the week. To be considered relevant, the posting must move the discussion forward with new information, opinion or direction. Posting only “I agree” or “I disagree” is not considered relevant, and will not be considered a relevant post. It is of course permissible to agree or disagree with a fellow classmate – as long as defensible reasons for the new position are provided. No personal attacks or disruptive behavior will be tolerated in the discussion. I believe the discussion boards are very important - hence I count them as a large part of your final grade. You will find I am generous with extra credit for bar-raising participation. Participate at least three different times a week, raise the bar each time, reference the sources for your opinions and you will do well. Keep the conversation flowing!

Paid surrogacy should be permitted across the globe. Surrogacy alone is a moral practice that allows many potential parents who otherwise would not be able to experience a full-term pregnancy of their own, to pass their DNA along to a healthy child. In my opinion, the main ethical issue related to the debate if commercial surrogacy should be considered moral is similar to the reason prostitution. I feel that consenting adults should have the will to do with their own bodies regardless of they are being paid to or not.
