Surrogacy is when a woman carries and gives birth to a child for another couple who cannot have a child. The document discusses both the benefits and risks of surrogacy. While surrogacy allows infertile couples an opportunity to have a child genetically related to them, it presents health risks for surrogate mothers and causes them emotional pain when separating from the child after birth. Additionally, commercial surrogacy raises moral issues regarding the selling of children. Overall the document concludes that whether surrogacy is a boon or bane depends on individual circumstances and opinions on the practice.
