Joint Oireachtas Committee on International Surrogacy
Preventing the Sale, Exploitation and Trafficking of Children: Discussion
Ms Maud de Boer-Buquicchio:
It depends. For instance, it depends on the surrogate mother. In the United States, very often it is a choice of women who feel they are autonomous in their decisions about their sexual and reproductive health. They do not feel under any constraint, and they do it because they believe that it is a good thing to do and it is not because they need the money. It depends very much on whether the Senator extends the term "exploitation" to surrogates.
