Commercial surrogacy is exploitative, cruel & treats women like brood mares. UK ‘altruistic’ model is no better. Large sums of money changing hands, babies often not seeing their mothers again, women left with regret & birth injuries. Stop surrogacy now. insider.com/war-in-ukraine…

FWIW surrogacy isn’t really altruistic in Canada “In fact, reimbursements can total $45,000–$87,500 CAD, covering everything from childcare to maternity clothes to lost wages.”

How much did that baby cost?



We understand @BBCNews @marklowen has had a second child with a Canadian surrogate mother. We’re blocked by him, but you may wish to be aware that babies bond in utero with their mothers, that women aren’t incubators and that surrogacy is 3x higher risk for severe complications.

BBC report on surrogacy. Around ten seconds given to the woman talking about the exploitation of women’s bodies. No mention of the health risks. Two and a half minutes given to how great surrogacy is. Balance eh?

The online article was 5 pro-#surrogacy voices v the lone voice from our co-founder, compared to the TV segment which was 2 surrogate mothers and @lexington1920.

"The only winners are the exploiters while women and children come out as the losers. It's a business." and "I'm trying to come to terms with the fact that I'll probably never see her again. It's not easy. I just wanted to help another family, but in doing so I destroyed my own."

There are no upper age limits in law reform proposals for UK #surrogacy. At the last count, 95 single men became legal parents of babies born through #surrogacy in 2019, which is when single applicants on parental orders were possible. This screenshot is from yesterday.

#Spain The association Las Furias @FuriasAs filed a criminal complaint and succeeded in getting the courts to shut down the websites and social media accounts of several #surrogacy agencies. Surrogacy and its advertising are prohibited by law in Spain. x.com/FuriasAs/statu…

'I want my own biological child. Obviously a woman will have to make and birth it for me and then another woman will do the actual looking after it for me, and the kid will probably have attachment issues for life, but hey, at least I'LL be happy. Isn't surrogacy so progressive?'

Surrogate pregnancies are 3x higher risk for sepsis, pre eclampsia and postpartum haemorrhage. Babies bond in utero with mothers & want only her at birth, regardless of egg used in the pregnancy. Humans shouldn’t be for sale @r00k

It's impossible to go into egg "donation" or egg freezing with "eyes wide open". No long term empirical data exists for the long term effects of multiple cycles. Informed consent is not there.

Just 4% of women surveyed by @GMB knew what the egg retrieval procedure involved. Half said they would do it for the money. @DHSCgovuk you need to tighten the law on egg donation now. Thank you @GMB @edballs @kategarraway for covering this vital issue.

Nearly 40% of women aged 18-25 who took part in a survey for this programme said they would consider donating their eggs. Jess donated her eggs twice, wanting to help other women, but three years on, she says it took a toll on her, mentally and physicially.

As National Fertility Awareness Week ends today we remind followers of this: “We should be talking about surrogacy as a form of fertility treatment, not as a shock factor, but as a way of building a family.” ~ Michael Johnson-Ellis, My Surrogacy Journey facebook.com/share/v/1A3gGm…

Michael Johnson Ellis said on BBC Breakfast in 2021: “We should be talking about surrogacy as a form of fertility treatment.” So yes, the implications of this for women are frightening. This would reduce a woman to an instrument or method to ‘solve’ infertility.
