1. Should society regulate the practice of surrogacy? In what ways? How should it deal with surrogate mothers who change their minds?

I think that society should regulate the practice of surrogacy. It is a dark market in which babies are the commodities. There are too many babies/children that need to be adopted. Surrogacy has opened up an irreversible Pandora's box.

So, even though society cannot stop surrogacy, it should regulate it by controlling how reproductive technology should be used and who is able to use it. Another suggestion is to only allow the sperm and egg of the husband and wife only, so that the husband and wife will be less likely to have the baby aborted in case they change their mind or if an abnormality occurs.

The surrogate mother signs a contract. The contract should be final and the surrogate mother should have no hidden or natural rights to the baby or rights to abort the baby. Society should keep everything black and white and not beat around the bushes about any rights that the surrogate mother has. She gave up those rights when she signed the contract.

2. What are the positive and negative aspects of surrogacy? Which are the stronger arguments in your opinion? Give your reasons.

A positive aspect is that parents who cannot have a child on their own have the option to. I cannot think of or even believe
