Joint Oireachtas Committee on International Surrogacy
Preventing the Sale, Exploitation and Trafficking of Children: Discussion
Ms Maud de Boer-Buquicchio:
That is a very good thing. Because of that, however, at the same time, people tend to interpret the concept of sale in a restrictive way to not be too uncomfortable. We do not want to do that. We want to create legal pathways. We should please stick to the concept of sale, however. It is something that should not be allowed and it has very clear elements. It is transfer, payment and the exchange of payment for transfer. These are the three interlinked elements that define sale and that should be avoided.
