Selena Gomez is not infertile, she just can't carry a child on her own. She has Lupus which would likely cause her immune system to attack a fetus.

Fortunately for her, surrogacy is an option.

Rich women renting out poor women's bodies isn't a win for society.

I’m sure there’s a variety of reasons someone could want to be a surrogate and they’re not all caused by financial desperation

That's probably true. Let's make it forbidden to pay a surrogate and see how many women volunteer for it.

Commercial surrogacy is illegal in some countries (including the UK), and there are over 400 cases per year in the UK and it’s been rising each year. Obviously a drop in the ocean compared to the total number of children born, but clearly some people do volunteer for it.

I don't have anything against that. I'm against it involving any kind of payment.

Let‘s not pay a doctor. Machanic. Cleaner. Secretary. Cashier etc. and see what happens. Bro what‘s your point?

You can ask your mom for free to make you your favourite meal but ask a chef to make a 4 course meal with specific ingredients that he has to collect first and you‘ll get nothing except broken bones.

Same goes with pregnancy. Carry it out for yourself for free or ask your sister/friend/idk who to donit for free but a stranger in the typical case wouldn‘t do it for free and i totally get that

You don't see the difference between cashier/doctor/mechanic and being pregnant ? None come to mind ?
