SUMMARY:Made to Order: How Surrogacy Turns Women and Children into Commodities
DESCRIPTION:In this presentation, Kallie examines the domestic surrogacy industry and its serious ethical and human costs. Often portrayed as compassionate, surrogacy frequently exploits vulnerable women and treats children as commodities. Drawing on research, personal testimonies, and bioethical analysis, she challenges audiences to confront how surrogacy undermines human dignity, fractures maternal bonds, and turns birth into a commercial transaction – calling for a reevaluation of policies and cultural attitudes that normalize these practices under the guise of progress.\nRegistration: https://bit.ly/3L3dMT3\n
