Should Surrogates Get Paid?
Hi Michelle,
I agree fully with your opinion that surrogates should be getting paid more than men who donate sperm. Being pregnant is not an easy matter. A woman’s body undergoes several changes that affect her daily life. She must make sure she takes care of herself while being pregnant. Otherwise, complications can arise that can affect the woman’s health as well as the baby. I think that women are always paid less than men for whatever reason.

    surrogacy controversy

    Surrogacy, despite it’s high price is still become the popular option between infertile couple. Surrogacy is a method for a couple that incapable of having children to hire another woman to carry a baby. Surrogacy is usually costly and also both sides have to make a clear contract or agreement. The participants of surrogacy are usually a man that will give their sperm into a woman that will carry the baby or what people call surrogate mother. There are 2 types of surrogacy, first is traditional surrogacy and the second is gestational surrogacy. Traditional surrogacy is where surrogate mother’s own eggs will be used. Therefore, in traditional surrogacy, surrogate mother is the biological mother of the child. While in gestational surrogacy, the eggs are from the intended mother that already mixed with the sperm from the intended father, so the surrogate mother is not the biological mother of the child. Therefore, Surrogacy is a solution for the couple who are not capable of having kids on their own to have kids with the help of a medium (surrogate mother).…

    Pros And Cons Of Paid Paternity Leave

    There can be many cons to taking a paid paternity leave, but in the long run the family will benefit from the father taking off that time at the beginning after a birth or adoption. The possibility of losing a job is a legitimate concern, but when the father returns to work it will be easier for the father to balance out the workplace and family. The other concern of social judgement is also understandable, but the choice to take that leave to be able to spend time with the child and spouse will ultimately benefit everyone in the situation. Paid paternity leave, when added to paid maternity leave, will have the ability to keep the family financially stable while the family recuperates to the new life of having a child.…

    Paid Reproductive Labor Analysis

    According to Evelyn Nakano Glenn in her piece, From Servitude to Service Work: Historical Continuities in the Racial Division of Paid Reproductive Labor, reproductive labor “includes activities such as purchasing household goods, preparing and serving food, laundering and repairing clothing, maintaining furnishings and appliances, socializing children, providing care and emotional support for adults, and maintaining kin and community ties” (Glenn 1). However, since all of this work is mostly done inside the home without pay, it is not recognized as real work. Not only is it done without wages, it is also done mostly entirely by women. Only in “public” reproductive labor is when women get paid for doing some of these daily tasks. As noted in…

    Paradigm of a Healing Hospital

    Surrogate parenting is a process where an arrangement is made and an individual who is not a parent is given the parental rights, duties and the responsibility of parenthood either it is court pointed or voluntary. Another example on the more scientific level, an infertile couple can pay another woman who agrees to carry the baby for the infertile woman (couple) through artificial insemination. (Medical Encyclopedia, 2013). The ethical dilemmas surrounding parenting involves several parties, the surrogate, the intending family as well as the child. Some of the dilemmas from the surrogate are is she going to be able to let the child go once it is delivered, after taking the pain of carrying and delivering the child not to mention the stress that comes with it. The dilemmas on the intending family can be questions as, is the surrogate able to carry the child to full term, is she going to change her mind by trying to keep the child, is the child truly theirs since another person carried it, are they going to disclose this information to the child one day?…

    Mothers Without Men, Donor Insemination

    I don’t think that donor insemination should be available as an option for singles, homosexuals, and other people who cross the unnatural way of having children, for their own good only. From my point of view it’s very selfish to bring children to the world when you are a single parent. Caroline Webb claims it’s her choice and she as a person fits the procedure of donor insemination. That it’s accepted what she does, because it’s better than if a parent abandoned the child which happens all the time.…

    Surrogacy In Australia Essay

    In modern society, homosexual couples (woman and woman, man and man) have become much more comfortable and open about their sexuality that many of them want to have a family of their own through either surrogacy or in some countries where it is legalised, adoption. However, in Australia the legalisation of commercial surrogacy for homosexual and heterosexual couples is prohibited. A surrogate mother is referred to as a woman who bears a child for another woman (Farlex Inc. 2013, The Free Dictionary). Women usually become a surrogate mother because they receive compensation in one form or another from doing it; others do it because a family member cannot produce a baby of their own. Homosexual couples tend to use surrogacy as an option to have a child of their own, as compared to adopting a child. Due to commercial surrogacy being illegal in Australia, it has driven homosexual couples to other countries such as India where the surrogate mothers are not as healthy as the ones…

    Arguments On Child Support

    Anyone could argue about child support, but who has to pay is determined by a judge in court. What I don't understand about why some women file for it, like the ones' who has all these kids and don't have a job or don't want a job, but wants money. Women who don't have jobs, but has their hair and nails done, and talk about their kids needs clothes and diapers. Women who don't want the father to take full responsibility for their child or children, but will let them get their child or children if they give them some money when they get their checks cashed. I feel that if a child's father is doing his part as a father why put them on child support. If the father offers to take care of the child or children until the mother…

    Should Medicaid Pay for Abortion

    Should Medicaid pay for abortion? This is a very touchy subject and one that has been in the newspapers for months now. It is also the main reason that the passing of the historic health was postponed for the amount of time that it was. I think that even though abortion is a touchy subject and won that has been a main topic since “Roe vs. Wade in 1973,” I think that is a very important topic and one that will always be discussed for much more time. I think that abortion should be legal and be the decision of the parties involved to make the decision on whether to have one or not. Also, I believe think that abortion should be covered by the tax payers in the case o rape or incest because both of those instances could result in a very tough life for the baby. Either the child will be hated by its mother because every day she looks at him/her it reminds her of her rapist, or the child is born with birth defects.…

    Women's Rights In America

    It may seem like a long shot but paid parental leave is also needed to help create equality, especially in the work place. New parents need time off after their child arrives (newborn or newly adopted), but they also need money to be able to take care of their children. If parents get paid while off for parental leave, then they won't need to worry about needing to afford things for their new child because they will have the money they need. According to Business insider.com, less "new moms" were leaving "Google" when they "increased paid maternity leave form 12... to 18 weeks" (Gillett). If companies expand the amount of paid leave that new moms get, they will be less likely to leave their job and more likely to be able to pay for their child's (children's) well-being. It is also shown that parents of newborn children spend over $190 a month on essentials for one child's everyday living (Gillett). Mother's need jobs, but is it worth it if they can't stay home for a few months to make sure their newborn is okay before they leave them with someone else? Women need to be able to stay home for the time they need without having to worry about money issues. Newborns cost money to take care of and companies that hire women should see that. Women the companies hire may have children in the future and may need time off. During that new mother's time off, she should be able…

    What is a foetus? The foetus is the developed mammal after the embryonic stage and before birth.

Maternal factors affecting foetal growth include size, weight, nutritional state, cigarette smoking, substance abuse, uterine blood flow, anaemia, and environmental noise exposure.

    The Surrogacy Parenthood Act 1988 (QLD)

    The Surrogacy Parenthood Act 1988(QLD) was repealed in 2010 in which the Surrogacy Act (QLD) 2010 was introduced. Under this Act there are two types of Surrogacy. Alturistic and Commerical. Alturistic surrogacy which is legal, is where a woman agrees to be the surrogate mother with no intention of financial gain. A commercial surrogacy arrangement involves a person receiving a reward, payment or any material benefit for entering into the surrogacy arrangement. Thus being illegal in Australia, it does not stop people from going overseas and applying for Surrogacy. A number of reason why there have been a rise in the surrogacy services, because of the decrease in number of children available for adoption domestically. In Australia state based…
