I am against surrogacy. I feel like no one
really thinks about the impact it could have on the child, or how wrong it is to ask a woman to give you a child. Surrogacy isn't fair to the babies or their moms. It may not have occurred to the general public but babies bond with their carriers and they have feelings and emotions about the
issue too.That matters, there are SO MANY children that need to be adopted. Adoption centres are full of different kinds of cute children who need parents who are willing to be parents.
In South Africa Surrogacy for commercial gain is illegal, thus the so called ‘rent-a womb’ trade is outlawed. The only payments which are permissible are those which are directly related to the pregnancy and the surrogacy agreement. One of the commissioning parents is required to be a gamete donor with both the commissioning parents as well as the surrogate mother being suitable and competent candidates. Surrogacy agreements must be confirmed before the High Court. The surrogate mother has the right to terminate the pregnancy provided that the conditions in section 298 are met.
