Joint Oireachtas Committee on International Surrogacy
Prevention of the Exploitation or Coercion of Surrogates and Intending Parents: Discussion
Lynn Ruane (Independent) | Oireachtas source
What about the type of therapy that is provided in this area? I am asking Ms Ó Tuama only because people point to why people make decisions. I know why I make the decisions I make but, of course, it is always helpful to be able to bounce them off somebody in a room and so on. What type of therapeutic engagement is required in respect of somebody who is going to be a surrogate? Is it mostly information or is there an exploration of the person's intention and reasons, understanding why the core desire to be able to help another person is in that person? Does that happen in the area of therapy as well?
