The Problems and Plight of Surrogacy in Our Country

Abstract

From two aspects, we analyze the ethical issues of surrogacy. One is that a surrogacy complicates the traditional family relations, and the second is the danger of commercialization of surrogacy. Surrogacy is developed on the basis of artificial insemination and embryo in vitro fertilization. Some problems about surrogacy is actually caused by these artificial assisted reproductive technology. As a result, surrogacy is not allowed by law in our country. But there is a premise that reproductive right is one of basic human rights, which is given by the society, law and policy recognition, not beyond the organized society. Reproductive right shared by both sides of husband and wife in marriage can not be arbitrarily deprived. From the perspective of social development, birth is not only a citizen's right, but also the duty of citizens.
