Joint Oireachtas Committee on International Surrogacy
Surrogacy in Ireland and in Irish and International Law: Discussion (Resumed)
Jennifer Whitmore (Wicklow, Social Democrats) | Oireachtas source
Senator Ruane is online, but she cannot ask questions because she is off-campus. Senator Ruane said the witnesses mentioned a moderate approach and she would like to ask about that. She said that many people assume "commercial" means bad, unethical, or exploitative. She is wondering if a commercial approach can be both commercial and ethical. Would regulation help us to determine who the good actors in commercial surrogacy are? In the witnesses' opinion, is a moderate approach achievable?
