Thanks for posting that link about surrogacies that have ended tragically.
I saw in one where the surrogate had died that no one in the agency was allowed to disclose it for fear of being sued, as they all have to sign a non disclosure agreement. So a death by surrogacy gets hidden. In Russia? No, California.

By the way, has anyone posted that a surrogate mother is more likely to experience a dangerous pregnancy when the egg is not her own?

Indeed they have, although I haven't seen any of the pro-surrogacy advocates engage with that particular fact.

Re: physical harms of surrogacy

Children who are born as the result of a surrogacy arrangement are more likely to have low birth weights and are at an increased risk for stillbirth. When a woman carries a child conceived from an egg that is not her own—a traditional gestational surrogate arrangement—she is at a three-fold risk of developing hypertension and pre-eclampsia. Egg donors have spoken up about experiencing conditions such as loss of fertility, blood clots, kidney disease, premature menopause, and cancer, and the lack of data and studies on both short and long term health outcomes for egg donors makes true informed consent unattainable. While scientists do not fully understand the scope of these health considerations, it is clear that for both short and long-term outcomes, surrogacy is a frontier of unknowns; children, egg donors, and surrogate mothers may pay a physical or psychological price nobody yet fully knows or understands
