Short Essay On Surrogacy

817 Words4 Pages

Surrogacy is a procedure in which a baby is born by a woman other than the biological mother due to fertility problems with the mother and/or the father of the child. Although it still isn’t a very common practice in our country, various childless couples are opting for surrogacy to bear children.

There are two types of surrogacy - gestational surrogacy and traditional surrogacy. In case of circle surrogacy, the gestational carrier - mother carrying the baby has no genetic connection with the baby. This procedure involves IVF - in vitro fertilization. The embryo is created in a lab and is then planted in the mother’s uterus. In case of traditional surrogacy, a surrogate mother becomes pregnant using her own eggs.

  • Essay On Forced Fatherhood

    775 Words  | 4 Pages

    In this article the author, Laurie Shrage affirms that forced fatherhood is not something that we should be doing simply because it is not only unhealthy but unfair. She asks the question should men have the same rights and control over when and how they become a father. I appreciate a lot of this article; Shrage goes on to explain with insight from political philosopher Elizabeth Brake, who has a great view on this topic. Brake brings up that fact that “if women’s partial responsibility for pregnancy does not obligate them to support a fetus, then men’s partial responsibility for pregnancy does not obligate them to support a resulting child.” This is one of many important points of Brakes, that Shrage uses to support her argument.
