Another potential celebrity baby purchase 🙄.

It's your business in the sense that we all have a duty to protect society's most vulnerable.

Commissioning surrogacy is commissioning the intentional separation trauma of removing a newborn baby from it's mother. A woman can "choose" to inflict this trauma upon herself but a baby cannot advocate for itself (although it is of course debatable how much choice the woman really has as the vast majority of surrogates are poor and you certainly never see middle/ upper class women volunteering to do it for strangers).

This is a world of difference to adoption where the best is made of a tragic situation where trauma has already happened and has not been commissioned on the whim of wealthy people. Regardless, and speaking from experience, even people adopted as very young babies suffer from the traumatic loss of that separation.

Our society knows not to treat animals this badly. We ought to understand this about humans too.

I think surrogacy can be a valid way to bring your child into the world if you can’t do it yourself. I must admit I’m not overly familiar with the laws regarding this in the UK but if they are strict enough to protect both parties and the baby I don’t see how it’s any of my business.

How much does a woman get paid for surrogacy?

The sooner we ban surrogacy the better. A baby is not a commodity.
