In this article, a woman who was herself an altruistic surrogate for some friends writes about her experiences, which led to post-traumatic stress disorder, and why she is now against all forms of surrogacy. “Women should not be encouraged to endanger their emotional and physical health and safety for other people’s ‘need’ to have babies. Women matter. Women should not be encouraged to put ourselves second, and to risk our lives for other people.”

I have never been a surrogate and never would (even if I could have) because – from the get go – this has been a monstrous exploitation of women’s bodies. NOBODY has a RIGHT to have a baby. They are a gift to couples who successfully sexually reproduce. If you cannot conceive as nature intended then accept you have not been blessed in that regard. You can do so many other valuable and worthwhile things in your life.
