Ms Meredith Baldwin:

I will add to what Ms Roberts has already said so very eloquently, as always, that surrogacy is not meant to be for profit, and certainly not through COTS the organisation that facilitated my birth. If any surrogate mother or any surrogate says "I am doing this for the money", nobody would want to be involved with that. For me, that would be pretty unethical. It is about wanting to help a couple who have been struggling to have children. That is why surrogates want to do it. They probably enjoy pregnancy. It is a very selfless act. As for it being a profitable thing, that was not meant to be the case, and I do not believe it should be at all.
