The Irish Times has a series about surrogacy going on. I must say I find the whole thing very disturbing.
There is a lot of debate about the ethics of paying for surrogacy. However, not much about the ethics of bringing a baby into the world who, in this country is legally just not there and has no parents!
The parents cannot sign legal documents as her parents. That just seems outrageous to me.
They criticize the state for not being up to date with surrogacy laws, however don't criticize themselves at all for just going ahead with it anyway.
