Joint Oireachtas Committee on International Surrogacy
Potential Double Standards in Protections for Surrogate Mothers in Domestic Arrangements: Discussion
Lynn Ruane (Independent) | Oireachtas source
I have only a couple of seconds left. I know this is a bit of a stretch, but I am trying to look at the language we use. Say we were to force a situation whereby non-commercial surrogacy was not allowed or deemed unethical or illegal. Could we say the inverse would also be true, that is, that to enforce altruism on somebody in a difficult situation can also be exploitative? That way, the two positions negate each other at the end of the day if we are to balance them out.
