“Gestational surrogacy”. What a difficult word. In Dutch it’s just “draagmoeder” = “carry mother”
Years ago I watched a documentary about Israeli couples and surrogacy. They chose surrogate mothers in India (If I remember correctly) because they were cheap but eggs were from American women because they didn’t want ‘dark’ babies. Terrible.
“Gestational surrogacy” – ridiculous pretension
I will never not point out that Sweden and Finland look kind of phallic without Norway
There’s no law in Belgium, but it’s allowed with certain conditions.
what does “without law” mean?
How many times do we have to tell you, you CANNOT remove Norway and leave Sweden and Finland alone together!
Call it what it is – human trafficking.
Why no UK? 😢
What a fancy word for human trafficking.
Interesting, I thought we were the only assholes to make it illegal.
There are laws in the Netherlands about how you can find a surrogate. Commercial surrogacy is not allowed. It’s kind of how coffee shops get their product, gotta do it discreetly. I guess the goal of the law is that people would do it out of altruism, like relatives or friends mostly, instead of allowing more exploitative types of surrogacy. It’s very difficult to go abroad for it, too, or bringing the baby back legally is difficult.
What is the difference between yes or no without law?! If there is no law prohibiting it, how can it be not allowed? Wouldn’t both yes and no without law result in the same thing: allowed by default?
I do belive there is law banning this in Finland.
I’m sorry how tf are y’all calling it human trafficking???
Cock and balls, should it be allowed? No (without law).
In Italy it has become a universal crime, so we can be condemned even if we do it abroad… fuck Meloni
I’ve heard of it happening in Belgium so I’m guessing there is some way of doing it.
I don’t understand this grouping of countries
In Italy the government declared it “crime against humanity”.
The problem comes when in countries like Spain, where gestational surrogacy has been banned since 2005, people go to countries where is allowed and come back with the child adopting him through the regular adoption process, impeding in most cases by the baby’s original country, to verify the nature of the adoption and making it almost legal for anyone who can afford it.
Dutch here. So basically there are only a few European countries that allow this? I thought it was common practice! You hear the term used quite often. Don’t know if it’s practiced often as well though, but it’s a super familiar term.
RIP Slovenia, Luxembourg, Romania, Czechia and Slovakia. You were apparently missed
