Towards the Abolition of Surrogate Motherhood

A searing feminist critique of the global surrogacy industry and its impact on women's rights. This collection of essays from international activists and experts exposes the human rights abuses inherent in legalizing surrogacy, challenging the notion that commodifying women's bodies is a matter of 'choice'. Towards the Abolition of Surrogate Motherhood outlines the harms to women, children, and families, revealing the tragic outcomes of forced separation and exploitation. Contributors like Catherine Lynch dissect the creation of babies for removal, while Phyllis Chesler denounces the slicing and dicing of biological motherhood. Laura Nuño Gómez critiques the ethics-free zone where desires become rights and babies become commodities. Melissa Farley debunks the myth of 'choice' in surrogacy, highlighting the economic and social inequalities that drive women into exploitative arrangements. This book is a call to action for feminists, social scientists, and policymakers to prioritize human dignity and equality over individual desires and market forces.
