Health concerns and ethical considerations regarding international surrogacy
Jonathan W Knoche. Int J Gynaecol Obstet. 2014 Aug.
Abstract
Since the advent of IVF, various arrangements for child bearing and rearing have developed. With the confluence of advanced medical technology, reproductive choice, and globalization, a market in international surrogacy has flourished. However, myriad health, social, and ethical concerns abound regarding the well-being of gestational carriers and children, the infringement of autonomy and free choice, and threats to human dignity. The present paper examines the scope, health risks, and ethical concerns of cross-border surrogacy, arguing that the risks may not exceed the benefits.
Keywords: Autonomy; Commodification; Human dignity; International surrogacy; Public health.
