Dr. Áine Sperrin:

We had about 40 oral histories of people detailing experiences from a disabled person's perspective. Only two people referred to surrogacy and that was just to say it was not an option for them, whether because of the cost of undertaking it or the legal insecurity in regard to who will be the recognised parents, particularly in the case of same-sex couples. They can feel purely invisible. We did as much as we could to gather a wide variety of stories related to reproductive justice, but surrogacy was definitely one of the main blind spots we did not get to hear, although we think that is reflective of people not being aware of it or considering it a viable option.
