Rosario Corvalán’s opinion piece highlights key concerns, including women’s autonomy and the potential for exploitation within the practice. The article contrasts surrogacy with adoption, exploring the complexities of separating gestation from motherhood. Corvalán questions the limits of this separation and its potential consequences for both women and children involved. The discussion delves into both altruistic surrogacy and the risks inherent in commodifying the reproductive process. Ultimately, the piece urges careful consideration of the profound ethical questions raised by surrogacy arrangements.
