Surrogacy

Gestational surrogacy, involving a woman carrying a pregnancy for others through IVF, raises significant ethical concerns including the commodification of women and children, exploitation of economically vulnerable surrogates, and the rights of the child. Oregon Right to Life highlights these issues from a pro-life perspective, emphasizing that while infertility causes suffering, surrogacy and IVF practices conflict with pro-life values due to their treatment of human life and women’s bodies as commercial products.
