Surrogate mother refuses $10,000 bribe to abort deformed baby

          ANN ARBOR, MI, March 8, 2013, (LifeSiteNews.com) – A surrogate mother refused a $10,000 bribe to have an abortion when the child’s parents were dissatisfied with the prenatal diagnosis. “Baby S.” was diagnosed in utero with a cleft lip and palate, a cyst in her brain, and heart defects, and her parents – names undisclosed - preferred to have her dead than have to care for a disabled child.

美國究竟有幾州合法化代孕? 11? 16? 45?

我們需要正確的資訊,才能做有效的討論和正確的判斷!

各位委員:

今天開會決定衛福部在草案完成前要先在會前會討論, 因為國健署說我們的意見都有納入修改,是另立代孕法, 或是在人工生殖法中另立一章,都有可能.
 
另外, 資料正確性是我最關切的, 否則討論難有基礎. 
 
在多次會議, 包括今天, 都不斷有人說, 美國是商業代孕合法化的國家. 但我看到的委託研究是十六州已立法合法化或已形成判例允許代孕,國健署代表則說是四十五州已合法化。 雖是讀同一份資料,結果卻相去甚遠. 而真正商業化的在我看來只有加州.

衛福部與代理孕母

  仔細比對衛福部的代理孕母委託研究報告和世界主要國家的實況,發現委託報告中列舉的國家以法律明文允許代孕者占多數,但實際上是禁止的國家占多數,也有不少是法律未予規範的,法律明文允許代孕的國家在全球應屬少數。除報告中提及的德、法、日等國外,挪威、瑞典、義大利、波蘭等也都是明文禁止的。美國五十州雖各州規範不同,報告中也只有十六州是明文或以判例允許的。

Womb for rent: A tale of two mothers

The high cost of surrogacy in Europe and the US means many Western women are outsourcing pregnancy abroad. Carolina, from Ireland, travelled to India to pay Sonal to carry her baby. The World Service's Your World followed the two women as they came to terms with the emotional costs of the surrogacy.
