Then the risks equated to a “normal” pregnancy would be much, much higher so you can hardly say that having a baby for someone else isn’t dangerous can you?
If you read my post carefully, I have acknowledged there are some risks. I never said that there are no risks. Clearly there are risks in any pregnancy. What I am saying is that these risks are reasonable for a woman to accept. They aren't anywhere near as high as, say, donating a kidney, which was your previous, and rather poor, argument.
And what about the baby? Immediately taken from the only mother it’s ever know and given to someone it doesn’t know from Adam.
I agree there is sometimes trauma removing a baby from the birth mother. Again, I think given that the baby is likely going to parents that really really want it and have significant resources to care for the baby, I think the risk of trauma is acceptable. However, I agree there needs to be more research done in this area.
Have you had children? Do you know how a woman’s body responds to our baby? Do you know how the baby responds?
My husband is wonderful and so hands on with our children. But I was the only one who could calm them for weeks after Id given birth. Have you heard of the 4th trimester?
That's your experience, and that's fine. Other women have very different experiences, and certainly lots of women don't bond with their newborns. Either way it doesn't actually mean that surrogacy is wrong does it? There is no evidence that mothers of babies born by surrogacy take care of their babies poorly.
Taking a newborn from its mother is plain cruel

I'd disagree that the woman who gives birth is the mother. When a baby is adopted, the adoptive mother is the mother. We don't insist the birth mother is the mother, and adoptive mothers (rightly) get angry when they do.*
I also disagree that the baby is "taken". Everyone has agreed that the baby will be given over to the parents and brought up by them.
