Ms Gamble was very clear. I was more concerned with making this point because what was said in the contribution was being misrepresented on this side. Therefore, I thought it important to record that Ms Gamble was not talking about the surrogate, but about the economic position of the intended parents, their options and their ability to access these services.

Moving to another topic, and because people want to pull things in the direction of exploitation, does it make obvious logical sense that regulation is what addresses the issue of exploitation and not restriction? If we genuinely care about people being exploited, then we must look at regulation to ensure no one is exploited. Saying outright that it should not happen actually increases the chances of people being exploited.
