What are some positive effects of surrogacy?

1) Provides an opportunity for infertile couples to have a child. For couples unable to conceive or carry a pregnancy, surrogacy can offer the chance to have a biological child.

2) Gives women who are unable to carry a pregnancy the chance to experience motherhood. Surrogacy allows women with medical conditions like uterine abnormalities or previous hysterectomies to experience pregnancy and childbirth indirectly.

3) Can help those with genetic disorders pass on their genes. This can be especially important for individuals or couples at high risk of passing on a genetic disorder to a child.

4) Offers flexibility and control for intended parents. Surrogacy allows intended parents to be more involved in the pregnancy and childbirth process than other reproductive options, such as adoption. They can choose the surrogate, have regular contact with her throughout the pregnancy, and be present at the birth.

5) Promotes altruism. Many surrogates are motivated by a desire to help others and do not receive any financial compensation.

6) Creates lasting relationships. Surrogacy can lead to lasting relationships between intended parents and surrogates. These relationships can be based on mutual respect, love, and friendship and can last a lifetime.
