Conclusion


" The decision made is in your hands, think twice before you want to do it ... "










In conclusion, surrogate motherhood is a term referred to an arrangement in which a woman becomes pregnant for the sole purpose of having a child that another couple will raise (Hinders 2007). Before deciding to pursue surrogacy as an option for having a child, it’s wise for couples to spend some time considering both the pros and cons of the issue. Surrogate motherhood enables infertile couples to have children and fulfill their parenthood dream. Many infertile couples turn to surrogate mother rather than to adoption. The reason is because surrogate motherhood is a better form of alternative than adoption, as surrogate motherhood ensures the child is biologically related to the commissioning parents. However, the problems and effects brought about by surrogate motherhood outweigh the pros.


Surrogate mothers, commissioning parents and the child are troubled by the various problems that are caused by surrogate motherhood. Not only that, the effects of surrogate motherhood to the society has resulted in the society condemning and rejecting surrogacy. In our opinion, society should not be prejudice against surrogate mothers, but instead learn about their true intention before making any judgement. Not all surrogate mothers are driven by financial reasons, as some are driven by good intention such as the personal happiness and satisfaction in helping infertile couples to have baby (Swift Current Academy n.d.). As new technology emerged almost everyday, there are various alternatives to surrogate motherhood such as in vitro fertilization and gamete intrafallopian tube transfer that do not cause as much problems and effects to the society as compared to surrogate motherhood. The issues on surrogate motherhood very much depend on the perspective of the individual. One may condemn it and another may perceive it as a good deed. Therefore, before making any biased judgement on the issue, we should take into account the pros and cons of surrogate motherhood.
