Once you see that women's bodies are increasingly being viewed as marketplaces you can't unsee it...

By the same token though, wouldn't you want to be able to do this if you so desired? i.e. wouldn't it be more egregious if the government created legislation banning surrogacy-for-pay?

It does seem like a double-edged sword, but in my (male) opinion, this seems like a separate issue from explicit sex work.

Tbh I'm still on the fence about surrogacy, so I went around and read all kind of stuff about it. I quite agree that if a woman wants to do it (free of coercion) she's free to do what she wants, but apparently it has its own set of problems... so I'm not sure about my stance on this yet.
